Knicks’ chances of retaining Nerlens Noel dwindling as Nets and Cavs enter the fold

The New York Knicks will be looking this off-season for center help as Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson prepare to hit the open market in August. Whether they allocate resources in the draft or free agency, bolstering the position behind Mitchell Robinson is a priority.

Ideally, finding a big man who can also help offensively would be ideal, as both Noel and Gibson struggled to produce in that category. However, Noel had one of his best seasons defensively, recording a career-high 2.2 blocks per game. He also contributed 5.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, and shot 61% from the field.
