Isaiah Hartenstein agrees to 3-year, $87 million deal with Oklahoma City Thunder: Reports
Main reason, as said is about New York Knicks inability to pay him what he should receive from them as per Shams Charania.
Yeah the Knicks couple only offer something like 70 mil over 4 years they are hard capped after that. Was hoping he took a discount to be on the knicks but okc offered crazy good money for him good for him. Knicks now need to grab a solid backup and someone that can hold the fort down if big mitch goes down for any significant amount of time.
They offer him something that he can't refused. So it's a big win for the OKC Thunder, I think they know that they have lack depth and that's why they have to get a decent center in Isaiah Hartenstein which is a decent pick. That could be issue if big Mitch goes down again, although he had also been offered a solid contract to become a Knick but not sure if he is worth that money.
For Jayson Tatum, it's not a surprised that he was offered a super max contract, we all know that he deserved it, although not the finals MVP, but for sure him and Jaylen Brown as the best duo and could be looking to repeat as NBA champion this new season.
