Before the Knicks faced the Lakers and amidst significant trades, fans received hopeful news about Mitchell Robinson's recovery. Head coach Tom Thibodeau stated that Robinson was close to being cleared for full contact practices, a promising sign for the team. Known for his strong defensive skills and rebounding, Robinson’s frequent injuries have caused uncertainty regarding his future. The decision looms over whether to retain him for his high ceiling or trade him for a more reliable, healthy player. His performance in past playoffs adds to the dilemma for team management and fans alike.
When healthy, he has the ability to change the game instantly. Defensively, he's one of the most impactful big men in the league... availability is the best ability.
Robinson raises their ceiling overnight, and a healthy Robinson would serve as a much-needed injection of depth, size, and talent.
As many have said so often, availability is the best ability, and Robinson, unfortunately, just isn't available very often.
Do they keep him, and bank on him staying healthy? If they did, nobody would blame New York given how well he performed in the playoffs.
