Here it comes! The Lakers are looking to poach! Hello, NBA championship center

4-1, the Knicks beat the Spurs to officially lift this year's championship trophy, and Brunson was named Finals MVP.

Although the game on the court has ended, the overtime off the court is still proceeding as scheduled.

Spurs fans are incredibly fierce—one person could take on hundreds of Knicks fans and still hold his own.

Back to the main topic, as is customary, many Knicks players will see their value soar due to the championship aura, so the challenge for the front office is just beginning...

Among them, interior defensive anchor and rebounding machine Mitchell Robinson has become a hot commodity in free agency, even one of the most sought-after players. His previous four-year, $60 million contract has expired, and the Knicks can offer him a maximum extension of four years and $87 million.

In this year's Finals, Robinson's containment of the "alien" was evident to all. Famous American basketball commentator Skip even believes this guy completely handled Wembanyama—an unassuming yet crucial contributor.

Robinson was born on April 1, 1998. He is a big center standing 2.13m tall with a 2.24m wingspan and weighing 108kg. He was the 6th pick in the second round of the 2018 draft and has spent his entire NBA career with the Knicks.This regular season, he averaged 19.6 minutes per game, contributing 5.7 points, 8.8 rebounds (4.2 offensive), and 1.2 blocks with a 72.3% field goal percentage. In this year's playoffs, he averaged 13.9 minutes, posting 4.8 points, 5.5 rebounds (2.6 offensive), and a 67.3% field goal percentage.

Of course, as mentioned above, Robinson is now a hot commodity, and the Knicks will face plenty of competition. According to previous reports, teams such as the Lakers, Raptors, Bulls, and Hornets are all desperately interested in him.

To be fair, if the Purple and Gold had Robinson in this year's playoffs, they might not have been swept so easily by the Thunder in the second round of the Western Conference.

In short, Robinson is the type of player any championship-contending team needs; having him guard the paint always brings a sense of security.
