The New York Knicks may need to reconsider their approach to the trade deadline as starting center Mitchell Robinson's absence could be longer than expected. The team has applied for the Disabled Player Exception, indicating that Robinson may not return until at least June 15. With backup center Isaiah Hartenstein unable to play 48 minutes, the Knicks may need to target centers to fill Robinson's role. Potential trade candidates include Andre Drummond, Bismack Biyombo, Xavier Tillman, Alex Len, JaVale McGee, and Mason Plumlee. However, the Knicks must find someone who can fill Robinson's role rather than just play his position. Other options include exploring trades involving Evan Fournier or pursuing players like Clint Capela or Goga Bitadze. The Knicks have time to assess their options before the trade deadline.
