Knicks Hunt for Better Backup Big | New York Knicks News

The Knicks are on a mission to upgrade their big man depth, even with Mitchell Robinson healthy—his departure to Boston spiked urgency. Andre Drummond is a cheap, familiar option, but at 33, his defense is fading and he can’t be Towns’ sole backup. Running two bigs together? That’s risky without a better fit. The team’s eyes are on trade targets like Micah Potter (Portland, sharp shooter, affordable), Luka Garza (Celtics, elite rebounder, hot-shooting), and Zach Edey (Grizzlies, towering presence, injury-prone). Each comes with cost and risk—but the Knicks can’t wait. Playoff time is near, and they need a real backup before then.
