The New York Knicks have demonstrated their willingness to make trades, recently adding OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Karl Anthony-Towns to their roster. However, concerns about the backup big man position have emerged, particularly regarding Mitchell Robinson's health as he recovers from ankle surgery.

ESPN's Shams Charania highlighted the Knicks' need for depth in the center position, with potential trade targets from the Detroit Pistons, including Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed. The Knicks' plans for the season may hinge on Robinson's recovery timeline.
