Mitchell Robinson aims to leave the Knicks after eight seasons
NBA rumors are beginning to surface about the possible destination of the championship center
The future of Mitchell Robinson seems to be far from the New York Knicks. According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, it is unlikely that the center will return to the New York franchise next season.
Robinson, who will become an unrestricted free agent this summer, would thus put an end to an eight-season tenure with the Knicks, the team he joined in the 2018 Draft and is currently the longest-tenured player on the roster.
One of the main reasons for this potential departure is believed to be related to the franchise's financial situation. According to Bondy's information, Knicks owner James Dolan is not willing to exceed the second luxury tax apron, a decision that makes it difficult to keep the second unit intact.
The restrictions imposed by the collective agreement on teams that surpass this second apron force many franchises to make challenging decisions in roster construction, and everything indicates that Robinson will be one of the casualties of this financial adjustment.
A significant loss for the Knicks
If his departure is ultimately confirmed, the Knicks will lose one of their defensive stalwarts from recent years and the player with the longest tenure in the squad, bringing an end to a long chapter in the Big Apple franchise.
