One thing worth noting on both Anunoby and Hartenstein: The Knicks obviously know that both players will garner strong interest from opposing teams. But even factoring that in, members of the organization felt earlier in the offseason that they were in a good place on both Anunoby and Hartenstein as both players approach their free agencies. That’s according to people in touch with the team after their season ended in a second round loss to Indiana.

The Thunder are viewed as a serious threat to sign Isaiah Hartenstein away from the Knicks, per @SbondyNBA (nypost.com/2024/06/10/spo…).
OKC will have $35+ million in cap space, which is more than enough to outbid New York due to Early Bird Rights contract restrictions. pic.twitter.com/867jwxIf9k – 8:27 PM

More on this storyline
The Thunder is viewed by NBA sources as the top threat to pry Hartenstein away from the Knicks in free agency. After finishing atop the Western Conference with 57 wins in the regular season, Oklahoma City can make a stronger bid for Hartenstein than the Knicks, who are capped out but can offer a starting salary of roughly $17 million using their Early Bird Rights. -via New York Post / June 10, 2024
Led by long-time NBA guard Dennis Schroder, Germany has officially announced the extended roster of 16 players who will fight for medals in the Paris Olympics. The team is stacked with familiar faces, including all 12 who triumphed at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. The Wagner brothers, Daniel Theis, Andreas Obst, and others are all back for another shot at glory. The roster boasts 4 NBA players and 10 EuroLeague athletes. The extended roster lacks New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein and Dallas Mavericks power forward Maxi Kleber. Hartenstein previously expressed Olympic aspirations with the German national team but hinted at uncertainty about being selected: “I don’t think I’ll be invited to the Olympics under any circumstances.” Meanwhile, Kleber had a conflict with team captain Schroder last summer. -via BasketNews / June 4, 2024
The Sixers have interest in Anunoby, and I’m sure he has plenty of other suitors. But I’ll predict here that Anunoby re-signs with New York on a contract that contains some incentives for games played. -via SportsNet New York / June 5, 2024
League sources say that OG Anunoby is also expected to remain with the Knicks, although he doesn’t provide the type of scoring punch the Sixers are seeking anyway. -via The Ringer / May 27, 2024
The Sixers do have their eyes on other lucrative-salary impact players just in case they don’t get George. That’s why they also are looking at potential free agents like the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James and New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby. If not in free agency, the Sixers believe they can use their draft assets and available cap space to acquire a difference-maker via a trade. That has led to Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler, Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine, and New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram being among trade interests. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / May 26, 2024
