The New York Knicks have cleared their payroll by parting with unsecured contracts from Taj Gibson and Bobby Portis last night. Their departures left a Mitchell Robinson a little lonely in the painting. But the leaders of the Big Apple reacted quickly by finding him already an understudy for next season.

Ed davis so comes from Utah Jazz. Salt Lake City franchise needed to free up space under Cape Town in order to recruit and / or extend Jordan Clarkson during the offseason. Davis is therefore sent to New York with two second rounds of draft.
It’s a good pick for the Knicks, especially on a budget. He might not have a big impact on the results but Ed Davis is a solid interior. And serious. Ideal for framing the locker room. And ideal to ensure the role of back-up behind the young Robinson, who should finally be full time.
Gordon Hayward gives up his 34 million, already two teams on the spot!
