[@jaric3300]

Precious has a lot to work on, but I would bring him back

[@jcj0077]

CP look at Wiseman highlights, look at his muscle tone his size aka like the Greek Freek was.. nothing but upside.. that young man would get nothing but bigger and better at MSG.. take a peek at his highlights. I was like you I vetoed the Wiseman idea, until I saw his highlights. Let Tibbs, Brunson Randle and OG get their hands on him.. yeah I diamond in the rough bru

[@Leshog70]

I am so bummed about this. The Knicks should definitely resign Precious. I would love Mo Bamba if he was available he can defend and shoot

[@SHAPRINS]

Capella is a good option

[@heavvyd1300]

We will absolutely see randle at 5 at some point this coming season. Not as a solution to our center position, but as our small ball lineup when teams go small on us and when we want to push offense. Especially in this era of positionless lineups

[@오하이오통신]

It was my great pleasure to see iHart grow in the Knicks organization. He did a lot for Knicks. Thank you man. Wish the best in OKC.

[@haaqym]

Sign precious and see the new draft pick

[@AhpalyCoradin]

Thibs is going to have to load manage Mitch, OG, JB, and JuJu. Not necessarily missing games but limit the minutes to under 30 - 35 mins. We can't do anything if we're injured again.

Rockets acquired him in a trade during last season. They're not going to trade him away.

[@roblayman9433]

It's really hard to believe he is making more money than Julius! And Quickly is too. He really was lucky to have the situation he did with us but really he didn't spread the floor, wasn't a shot blocker and got out rebounded by Julius and jhart, good luck to him but hopefully Mitch and Jericho will step up

[@ryankenealy4837]

There’s gotta be a diamond in the rough between the 2nd round, the G league and over sea’s. There’s gotta be serviceable 6-11/7 footer out there who can rebound, defend and have a decent bball IQ. In years past, point guard was always our weakness. Now we are very thin at center.

[@MrKHafid]

This was to be expected. He played wonderfully and he deserves to get paid. No hate for him, he should be cheered upon his first MSG visit. Congrats to him and to his family. I’m confident the Knicks will fill in where they need to, they have the roster to play big and small.

[@djarmour6782]

Agree

[@MA9ELLAN]

IHart knows he is worth no more than $10million a year...so if someone overpays to the tune of $29 million a year, he took them up on it. He was breaking down already so not to going to be missed.

Pro Sports is ridiculous! Business? Nonsense! I don't care what anyone says! Secure the bag! Nonsense! The chemistry of the Knick team is why I Hart is where he is at. I'll be watching him on the Thunder. Tom Thibodeau and the rest of the team's influence. Good luck! Players go for the bag. {Everyone is so cool using the expression of bag. Yeah right} All the sheep buying into that this is the way it is. Watching professional sports going down the drain. Money running professional sports! Not the game itself. Don't be surprised I Hart when the players and coach on Thunder are nothing like what you had in New York. To know how you helped this Knick team and would have been a millionare with Knick contract, there's definately something wrong with that picture!. And when Knicks play Thunder next season while I'm watching game I will be rooting VERY hard for THE KNICKS to kick the Thunders and your ass I Hart. That's right! Everyone Knowing. You included I Hart. Having you on the Knick's squad, and how your contribution would add to team's strength how can I not want Knick team to destroy you!

[@RM-pg4js]

Bring Ewing back f it 😂

[@lirpa2300]

This is disappointing, i really hope paying OG all that money doesn't come back to haunt the Knicks. Now the Knicks DESPERATELY need a center because half a season Mitch as the starting center isn't going to cut it anymore. Mitch needs to become a back up. And the center pool is slim pickings. And not only did IHart get paid, it also made OKC even better. Alot of fans are in denial about Mitchell Robinson like they were with RJ Barrett. I'm going to miss IHART aka Brightskin 😢.

[@patrickaime149]

Miggie is not a bad pick

[@_TheWatchers]

veteran Min. 4/5's that are prospects? Euro 4/5's? Sims aint the solution! Mitch is still butterfingers+injury prone... No Precious, so what's the strategy?

[@jovanpatterson9458]

save the bag and go after Dmytro Skapintsev from Weschester Knicks he averages 10 pts 6.7 RPG, 2.7 Apg, also 1.6 BLKs why we keep looking for trades not worth it we have what we have

[@anthonydecesare3170]

I'm still trying to figure out the rules with this new cba...im just trying to think out of the box here.....with the Blazers taking Donovan Clingan the uconn C in the draft and with them also having Ayton...is their a possible way we could get Robert Williams the 26 year old C in a trade who use to be on the Celtics.....he got be to be expendable....the knicks have 3 trade exceptions, I dont know if we could still use them....I dont know if we can sign and trade either Achiewa or Burks to get this done....i dont want to say Deuce...but we can sign Rokas....we drafted that guy at the 34 from Marquette....Im not dissing Deuce, I dont want to trade Deuce...im just thinking out of the box and I thought Mitch rob and Robert Williams would be a good young Tandem.

[@slimarkane5735]

Listen, we have Sims and Achiuwa. Time to Develop Sims. He has a young Shaq like build, let him develop a post move, grab boards and work on his passing IQ Achiuwa is naturally active and more athletic than Hartenstein. He probably won’t be as good of a passer but he is way better at defending. He will develop his game. IHart is good on Team Defense but 1 on 1 defending is his weakness.

[@tobyakbar225]

There are other guys out there that we can pick up... maybe not to the level of ihart but we just need some rim protection and rebounds. Whoever they bring in i trust thibs and his staff will get him ready to produce...

[@richies.alberto3432]

Let's chill. Leon knew this will happen and they still drafted as needed, both skill and financially. Therefore, Leon, Wes and team have plan A, B and C in place. Which I think will take place after these draft picks are signed. For example, The Blazers just drafted Clingan and they have 5 centers. Once this shakes out, watch Leon go to work.

[@alexc.7868]

Patrick Ewing

[@greedygrizz2920]

I knew we should've had center as our top priority in the draft. I love the front office but this is a big mistake. there was halfway decent options in the draft! I dont mind our first pick but we should just used our two picks 🤦🏾‍♂️ everybody knew what OKC was up too.

[@MZPCreations]

It's a business. It is what it is but we'll do without him. We still sleeping on Hukporti I truly believe he's gonna develop and come up big as he's forced into rotation when Mitchy gets hurt. But I think we need to rest Mitch for stretches in the season and if we go up 2-0 in a series and it seems we are ok without him, rest him for the next round(s). It's gonna be tough losing him but personally I'm VERY excited about Hukporti

[@kevinmckelvy3358]

What’s up with Brook Lopez?

[@ColdHoops]

Him or Looney are probably your best options as candidates to be your starter. If you keep Precious, he'll remain backup of course

[@ceasarjohnson6258]

How about Damian Jones from Cleveland? Precious Achiuwa as a first option though.

[@paradox7743]

Big ups to IHart. He deserves the bag. He played great when Mitch went down. Of course we wanted him back but look were good. And look we’re on our way. And everybody knows it. Congratulations to Isaiah all that cash but no ring.
