The NBA Draft is approaching with free agency soon to follow, leading to trade talks among teams across the league. Mitchell Robinson's name has come up in Knicks' trade discussions, with the Wizards among interested parties. If the Knicks move Robinson, they must consider Isaiah Hartenstein's free agency status. Goga Bitadze is a potential target for New York in case of a trade.

The Knicks are weighing scenarios involving Robinson and Hartenstein. Hartenstein's return to New York may hinge on contract offers from other teams with more cap space. Teams like Orlando and Oklahoma City could offer significantly more, factoring in state income tax differences. In the midst of free agency, the Knicks are aware of interest in Hartenstein and OG Anunoby.

Jerami Grant is another player drawing trade interest, with teams like the Mavs checking in on his situation with the Portland Trail Blazers. Grant's lucrative contract is influenced by the expected rise in the salary cap over the next few years, impacting how his deal will be perceived in the future.
