The official start of free agency came without the usual fireworks on Sunday, just the slight pop of Andre Drummond agreeing to terms with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $10 million deal to serve as a backup center.
The Knicks are still trying to create enough cap room to be able to offer Hartenstein the most they are allowed by the CBA - a deal that would start at slightly more than $16 million next season.
The efforts to clear that room, and role, have had the Knicks investigating possible trades for Mitchell Robinson, who will earn $14.3 million next season and whose starting job Hartenstein took while Robinson spent much of the season dealing with a fractured ankle.
