Surging center Mitchell Robinson, the Knicks’ longest-tenured player, sounded noncommittal when asked whether he will be in New York long term.
With the trade deadline Thursday, Robinson doesn’t have his contract extension and is slated to be an unrestricted free agent July 1. The Knicks still can get an extension done after the deadline and can go as high as four years, $50 million.
After drafting Robinson in the second round in 2017, the Knicks signed him to a team-friendly four-year, $5.8 million deal.Robinson likely is going to want to get paid bigger bucks now. It is why he has gone through five agents before settling last season on the renowned Wasserman Agency, repped by Thad Foucher and Joe Smith.
Robinson pinned his relatively slow start to not being in top condition, saying he missed all of preseason and hadn’t played since last March. Now he’s become a beast on the offensive glass and his shooting percentage is a league-best 78.3 percent, even if he still doesn’t take jump shots. The Post has previously reported Robinson has told confidants Dallas and New Orleans would be appealing destinations if he’s not a Knick.The Knicks are likelier to ship out center Nerlens Noel, re-signed in the offseason to a three-year, $30 million deal as insurance for Robinson. Noel has endured a disastrous, injury-riddled campaign.
