Ranking Knicks’ Priorities for 2024 NBA Free Agency

When the Knicks are at full strength, they have the league’s deepest center rotation. That won’t be the case forever.

It may not even be the case in a matter of months, as big changes could be coming to the big-man group.

Isaiah Hartenstein (unrestricted) and Precious Achiuwa (restricted) are both headed for free agency. Jericho Sims could head there, too, if New York declines his $1.9 million team option. And if all three are brought back, the ‘Bockers might need to unload Mitchell Robinson, who’s had yet another season hugely impacted by injuries and has eight-figure salaries on the books for each of the next two campaigns.

New York doesn’t need all of these players, and even if it did, it couldn’t afford to keep this group in its entirety, anyway. The question is where and how the Knicks will make their cuts. Hartenstein has been objectively awesome when called upon this season, but Robinson has been the same when healthy.
