The discussion focuses on potential trade scenarios for Mitchell Robinson of the New York Knicks, exploring options such as a straight swap for Josh Green of the Charlotte Hornets. Analysts ponder the Knicks' pressing need for wing players and whether Green, despite underperforming, could address that gap. The Knicks, now over the salary cap apron, must be strategic in salary management, potentially leaning on other big men like Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims. Consensus leans towards keeping Robinson due to his irreplaceable defensive prowess, especially in playoff contexts. Alternative deals involving Atlanta's Bogdan Bogdanovic and San Antonio's Harrison Barnes are also examined, with doubts raised about the value returned for Robinson and Achiuwa, suggesting they are integral to the Knicks’ core.
