Fischer reporting #Knicks could still keep Hartenstein. Not sure how as they’re at $166.8M below their $178M hard cap. Jericho Sims remains at $2.1M, but they’re worth watching in the depth big market. Would they offer some of their MLE to Kornet (former NYK) or Tillman? – 3:56 PM

Stefan Bondy: The Knicks picked up Jericho Sims contract option for next year, a source told The Post. -via Twitter @SBondyNYDN / June 29, 2024
Ian Begley: Person familiar w/NBA CBA said Jericho Sims’ deal is treated as a minimum contract in trades even tho it wasn’t signed via vet min exception. Rule is based on his current salary, not how he signed. So as it currently stands, NYK can’t include Sims & another minimum deal in trade -via Twitter @IanBegley / June 26, 2024
Ian Begley: Asked about Knicks’ adjustments if Mitchell Robinson (ankle) misses Game 4, Donte DiVincenzo says, “First and foremost, I hope we have Mitch. I expect Mitch to play. But if he doesn’t, it’s been like that all year. You have Precious Achuiwa, you have Jericho Sims, those guys have been ready all season long. So, you know, it’s the next man up mentality and we’ve earned the two seed with Mitch missing 50 plus games. So I expect him to play. I hope he plays and if he doesn’t, we know the next man up.” -via Twitter @IanBegley / April 27, 2024
