While the other New York basketball team hemorrhages players, the one people actually care about keeps adding them. On the heels of securing Jalen Brunson to a new contract, the Knicks signed center Isaiah Hartenstein to a two-year, $16M deal, presumably to back up Mitchell Robinson once he’s re-signed.
Free agent center Isaiah Hartenstein has agreed to a two-year, $16 million-plus deal with the New York Knicks, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Fully guaranteed deal for Hartenstein.

A second-round pick by Houston in 2017, Hartenstein is a legit 7-footer who can help out protecting the rim and shooting from outside, two areas the 2022 Knicks were middle of the pack.
