We needed the big body to be there as a back up and keep helping the team win with all their depth, but I can’t be mad at Isaiah. He got bills to pay too.😅😅😅😅😢😢😢😢😢😢😊😊😊😊 nothing but good luck and good fortune to them
He’s not worth 29 million for NYK, he is worth 29 million front loaded for a team who was missing his exact profile and had the cap space to play with.
I think honestly the timing was just really good for Isaiah. We (OKC) need a big guy desperately and he happened to be one of the best available through free agency. Theres also the fact that OKC had the money to get him anyway that we weren't going to use on anything else. Idk much about him but I'm excited to see what he can bring to our team!
The Knicks were just a bad fit for his play style. Okc is perfect for him because they run a motion offense so the ball isn’t dominantly sticking to one person
We have our guy, Mitch! Nobody's afraid of going up against IHart like they do Mitch. Our GUY is better at defending pick and rolls, better at defending from the 3 point line to the paint, and better at getting offensive boards. An offense was never ran for Mitch. I believe he's under utilized as a lob monster. He can easily average a double double this coming season. He just has to stay healthy and hopefully our new medical staff can handle that. I think we should sign that kid Aleksej Pokusevski as our backup. I know a lot of ppl don't like him but I believe that under Thibs he would become a gem for us. Kid is big and quick. Can defend and more importantly he can shoot. He's known to be a bit erratic, which leads to inefficiency, especially when on OKC, but that was early in their rebuild where dudes were playing reckless. Under Thibs, he would be a nice backup and one who can definitely clear up the paint for our bench guys.
ROBINSON > HARTENSTEIN IT SUCKS HARTENSTEIN IS GONE BUT IM NOT LETTING MITCH GO FOR IHART. IHART WAS GETTING DOUBLE OF WHAT THE NYK WERE OFFERING. PLAYERS WANT A CHIP & THE BAG, ITS NOT EITHER OR ROOKS.
There is no way to stop Hartenstein to get more money 💰. Knicks fans understand. I guess the Knicks are "Stuck" with Mitchell Robinson. Robinson has to "Step Up" for the sake of the team toward the NBA championship.
@@jamesmoore9636 I'll feel better if Robinson is the backup Center #1 or #2. He is not an all-round Center, Hartenstein. Robinson has to prove himself, this first half of the season it could be his last, if he doesn't play like an NBA all-round Center. He will be gone from the Knicks. Last shot for Robinson.
@Rodxyou All Mitch has to do is rebound and block shots ( and don't get injured) at a high level, Knicks don't need offense from Mitch besides finishing those lobs and put backs.
@@jamesmoore9636 Mitch needs to work on his offense like shooting (mid & short range shooting) and passing. Also needed to work on his Free Throw that's important too. If Robinson wants to be an NBA All-round Center, like Hartenstein, Embiid, Jokic, Giannis. His job will be safe
@@jamesmoore9636 This is Mitchell Robinson last shot, if he fails to play like an NBA All-round Center (Bad). He could be "gone" from the Knicks as early as the 1st half of the regular season or the end of the regular season or playoffs. That's his "FATE". 🙏
Mitchell Robinson has to STEP UP and be tough plus injury free. Mitchell Robinson time to shine and do what IHart did. Next is to sign Plumlee Bitazde or another FA C. The lists of availables are getting shorter and shorter. Drummond has already signed with 6ers. Knicks FO has to pivot and not trade Robinson and get a serviceable back up. Revenge will be sweet. We will get SGA when he becomes available and put it out of reach for OKC. Knicks lose IHart without any draft compensation. That is absurd
Mitch is still phenomenal and I've said all season I think he's still a bit better than iHart. Knicks will have some options, nobody as good, but there's options to replace him. Lot riding on Mitch this year but I have faith
@@knicksdigest it’s crazy what you can do w a great front office and two stars on rookie contracts. It gives you the AVAILABILITY to overpay for a key free agent. A free agent you wouldn’t have landed without overpaying. So who cares about the contract, we have him, and you don’t.
I'm guessing IH is really not trying to be on a championship team long term. Knicks is a win now team for a championship. And he would've been a starter in the greatest market in the world. I dont get it... SMH.
LOOK I SEEN THE CHICAGO BULLS WIN SIX CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH GRADE C CENTERS. IT ISN'T LIKE WE NEED A GREAT CENTER. REMEMBER THIS THERE TWO WING PLAYERS WERE A WHOLE LOT MORE IMPORTANT TO THE THE KNICKS WE BETTER BE GLAD THAT WE GOT OG AND BRIDGES FOR THE LONG TERM THOSE TWO PLAYERS ARE THE KEY TWO US GOING FAR IN THE PLAYOFFS
Relax everyone. This is not like losing Bill Walton. IHart style fit into Knicks system which is why he flourished under Tibs. Let's see how he does in an entirely different system with OKC. Wish him luck,
He average 8 points and 8 rebounds that's not really eye popping but hey when the team do well everyone great I guess even tho it was games where he couldn't get 6 rebounds and 6 points playing 40 minutes lol
I hope Leon Rose has a backup plan if he fails to keep Hartenstein. Force to keep Robinson. He has to replace two Centers by the end of NBA preseason. Not easy, maybe not for Leon Rose 🌹.
@@knicksdigestIf Mitch doesn't want to leave his team. He better "Step Up" 💪 on offense like shooting (short & Mid range), free throw, and passing. Play like the NBA All-round Center, if not he will be replaced.
Better for Knicks regular season Hartenstein went West vs. Orlando. I hope to god for OKC sake that 3rd year is team option, or else that's straight nonsense and an aberration for a normally elite Presti. PG whateva his contract gonna forecer sink Phili's leaky Embid ship. Morey pulled his last con act, gonna go down as more of a Billy King type than actual elite GM ... dude had one great move trading for Harden in HOU big whoop. No real hooper would pay PG max current, can tell his on-court impact has definitely diminished.
Why would we worry about cap when most of the key guys are on minimum rookie deals. Chet and JDub aren’t due for an extension why wait let their value go up. And now we have to overpay for two guys that we didn’t get a championship window out yet. Drummond and Jonas got defense and rebounding but Jonas got exposed after game 1 against us. Chet was blowing by him every time bc we forced out of the paint bc of spacing
We all hate this but it’s ok Ihart was a thibs/knicks system player Not sure what he will be able to do in okc Him and Chet are the same player except Chet can shoot
Wiseman !!! And when was he our starting center when Mitch was Healthy ???? 😂😂😂 heart not better than Mitch he had no post game. He hit that same little floater . All the Knicks gave to do is alley the ball to Mitch and simms 😂😂😂 it’s that’s easy
This muthafucca is not wilt. Put mitch on a minutes restriction and invest in a solid back up and the medicine and training. Ihart should be a knick..backing up mitch...but hey...the nab does nba things.
@knicksdigest if he proves that he got defense he will he got a nice offense, nice hook shot, fade way, can dribble,runs the floor good... If the knicks give him a chance he will surprise the NBA.....
@knicksdigest lol I seen it,but whatever we do my knicks are the best team right now and a hope no one gets hurt this season coming up, we getting a championship this year!!!
Loyalty only matters when a player is good and the organization and fan base wants them. If it's the other way around then everyone is quick to say it's just business. It's a one way street so it's not really loyalty.
@@knicksdigest i think everybody was shock about that deal lol but yea knicks can’t do much with the offer the thunder have for him and still money and reporter kept sayi g that IHart is having a tuff decision bc you doesn’t want to leave but that offer is you just can’t refuse. But i had no hate intention about my comment. You guys still are strong team and i think maybe 2nd or 3rd best in the East. They just have to stay healthy and for mitchell to improve his offense when he comes back. 🙏🏼
Yeah and he's shocked and bitching that they paid him that much money when I think Ihart deserves it. You can overspend for a big like that when 2/3 of your stars are on rookie deals. That’s why IHart has a 2 year front loaded deal with a non guaranteed 3rd year. If/when it becomes an issue to pay a backup that much they can move on easily.
you do realize that they signed like multiple different players to extensions today also? Plus the fact that I said over the last week that I'd be surprised if he didn't land in OKC...
We needed the big body to be there as a back up and keep helping the team win with all their depth, but I can’t be mad at Isaiah. He got bills to pay too.😅😅😅😅😢😢😢😢😢😢😊😊😊😊 nothing but good luck and good fortune to them
He was a great player for us. He has to take the money. All the best I Hart. He's going to a great team.
As an OKC fan, thank you and respect😤. You guys are a force to be reckoned with and are MAKING MOVES.
Don Presti sends his regards
I guess lol
Never doubt Presti again my boy
He’s not worth 29 million for NYK, he is worth 29 million front loaded for a team who was missing his exact profile and had the cap space to play with.
Good for him. Total overpay by OKC. He was awesome for NY and I wish him well
OKC needs to overpay for their players, or else who tf would come to OKC? Lmao
@@Mr.Byrnes OKC is a super underrated city
@@ricktheflame5158 💯
they gotta get rid of their cap space
No hard feelings. I appreciate everything he did for the Knicks. Glad Hartenstein and Quickley got their money
facts good for them
You don’t know what you have until it’s gone
Life goes on for the Knicks

Rebounding and garbage points does not = 29 million. I'm happy for IH and appreciate what he's done for us. Wish him luck.
The Knicks were just a bad fit for his play style. Okc is perfect for him because they run a motion offense so the ball isn’t dominantly sticking to one person
OKC needed a big man that could rebound, play defense and pass. He can do all of those things. It’s hard to put value on that.
Haterade 🍹
Awwhhh ...u know he better than Mitchell Robinson 😅😅😅
They needed to spend the money, they needed a center. The market and cap space got him that money.
The Early Bird rights rule’s stupid. There should be a soft cap for teams where they can go over the salary cap to resign their own players.

Mitch is a liability I’m multiple ways I hart is not
Mitch is injury prone and does not have the basketball iq that hardenstein has.
lol nah man
If they don’t I guess Ariel Hukporti will get more playing time than most thought he would.
Paul George is injury prone. He and Embiid wok be on bench most of the time including playoffs.
and mitch anunoby are also injury prone touche
It sucks, he did what he had to do for himself and his family. But the Knicks will be fine. He was a great fit, but he's replaceable.
