[Fischer] There does remain the chance Hartenstein stays with New York, sources said, after starting for the Knicks throughout a strong postseason run to Game 7 of the second round.
I want him to stay with the Knicks. I wanna see this team do something even cooler than this year, which was the most fun part of the playoffs for me.
The Knicks best shot is his wife loves NY, he said on the Brunson podcast he wants to work something, and he’s tried to take a discount before for the Clippers.
I’m optimistic but wouldn’t blame him for taking the bag.
Well, if he wants a bag, Detroit has cap space lmao
I think he'll work well everywhere but we also can't ignore that Thibs is a Big Man Whisperer.
The man knows how to use, develop/improve and identify his centers.
Nerlens Noel looked a defensive wizard with us and a great backup and was basically on the roster fringes right after we traded him away for the Brunson cap space.
Thibs made old Taj and the 55th pick and a career college backup work as passable NBA center. He rejuvenated Precious - especially defensivly and Mitch has grown immensly since Thibs arrived and basically doesn't get into foul trouble or out of position anymore.
I don't know if he'll be worth 25 a year for everyone
I don't know if he wants the bag that bad 🤣
Lmfao ay they may as well shoot their shot since anyone can offer more many
thanks for ur support, im knicks fan but pistons became my 2nd team this past year, i love their heart n determination and cade cunningham is a player of great character, wish the best for u guys too!
They've been my second team for a few years now. I really thought the Saadiq Bey, Cade iteration would've done some damage in a few years. I helps that the Pistons and Knicks only seem to want to trade with each other.
As a pistons fan and a New York resident, really rooting for this Knicks team to bust the Celtics’ ass next year.
I'm rooting for Ivey and Duren to have breakout years.
Fist bump.
sasser too!!
Per sources there’s a chance that Scarlett Johansson will go on a date with me 👀
Scarlet Johansson has not denied this
Where there isn't not smoke, there's fire
It must be true then
She’s trying to find away to get him under her apron
As a fan of the lowly Bulls I just wanna watch fun basketball for the next year and the Knicks keeping Hartenstein seems like the most fun. Stay home 🏠
I think he’d be fun in okc alongside Chet. They could really use what he brings imo.
Sam Presti staring at the clock right now waiting for that free agent window to open.
mad nothing burger posts ltely
Those are the backbone of free agency. Yall aren’t real F5ers man
only 1hr and a half brothers and sisters :)
Some may be cap cynics, & cap explainers…call me old fashioned, but I still believe in tampering. We got a shot.
In all seriousness I know IHarts numbers might not jump off the stat sheet but this guy is sooooo impactful he’s such a good player. Would be a big loss for us.
He would be the bow on an incredible offseason. The difference between him and having to rely on Mitch health, Sims/a bargain bin body is massive
Didn’t he just have a playoff game with 12 offensive rebounds? Dude is a beast
Wow "theres a chance" thanks
If they can keep him then use whatever of their MLE before the second apron on a decent backup 4 they have the best 10 man rotation in the league
really hope he stays. dude is really good and valuable way beyond any stats he puts up. he likely keeps improving as a passer and is a solid rim protector
Come back home. Your family misses you.
What can NY do to open cap space?
It's not an issue of cap space, it's an issue of bird rights. Knicks are gonna be over the cap no matter what but don't have full bird rights on iHart so their offer to him is limited based on his previous salary.
Nothing, only can pay him max 72/4
Sign and trade burks or precious
Probably would prefer Burks but idk who would take him unless a pick was attached
I’d give up a pick if it meant keeping iHart
Cosign!
I definitely want to Hartenstein to stay with NY, but a player like him at this time, has to get his money and get paid.
Other than the Magic, who I think will or at least should prioritize shooting and playmaking, no one with enough cap space to beat our offer needs a starting center.
He's going to have to take a discount to do it, other teams are going to be happy to throw some money at him
It’s really just the Thunder and Magic that have cap space and could use a center. I’m not saying they won’t do it, but am I missing someone? I don’t know what the Thunders money situation is, but seems like they have a similar problem to the Knicks in that they have a roster full of very good players who they will have to pay. And the Magic are trying to throw the bag at someone who will make them a contender, which IHart will almost certainly not get them there.
Yeah I was primarily thinking about the Magic going after him, KCP and a second shooter to bring off the bench if they don't bring Fultz back
Yeah. That would be smart of them, and they probably will go for it. I sure hope not.
Unless the Thunder gives him like a 3/60 deal, I think he comes back to the Knicks.
4/72 isn't as much per year but it's more total and an extra year of security and he could stay in nyc. i think thunder would need to offer more than that for him to leave but wouldn't be surprised if they offered something like 4/90 which would be hard to turn down
The Thunder have a lot of extensions they have to give in the future (J-Dub, Chet, Caruso) so I’d find it hard to believe they would be willing to pay iHart more than 20 mil a year especially with their ownership group in years past being hesitant to go deep into the luxury tax.
Strong run ending in a second round loss 💀
I'm going to start calling the sixers last decade a strong run lol
Heat Culture got you pretty far last year too huh

??? Knicks are still better even if Sixers get PG. Have some damn confidence in your team man.
PG13 doesn't make the sixers a 2 seed. They wont be able to fill a bench with that roster and PG and Embiid are still going to miss parts of the season if the trend continues with how they have been through the years.
It’s gonna be Maxey PG Embiid and 6 plumbers playing minutes I think we’re better
If the Sixers land PG they’d have a cool big 3 and like no one else
They wouldn’t have cap for anyone else
Sixers home games are basically Knick home games, home court don’t even matter lol
let say iHart left and we got Valanciunas from the free agency for much less. We're still better than the sixers with PG. so, stop non-sense.
We knew this already. We are the best team that offers him a starting role. That’s basically it. We can’t offer the money other teams can.
