I love Mitch, but if he’s demanding anything over $25 mill a year, drafting his replacement at a fraction of the price is the right decision to make financially imo. Hoping we can get him back on a more reasonable deal
What it will cost to keep Mitchell Robinson, here’s my breakdown‼️
Skeptics: 3 years, $54M ($18M/year) — still worried about injuries.
Most GMs: 4 years, $80M ($20M/year) — healthy championship center.
Championship premium: 4 years, $96M ($24M/year) — big playoff impact, title winner.
Bidding war: 4 years, $112M ($28M/year) — multiple teams competing.
Knicks fans: 4 years, $100–120M ($25–30M/year) — pay him whatever it takes.
Most likely if healthy and a key part of a championship: 4 years, $90–100M ($22–25M/year).
