    What is Knicks' Biggest Offseason Loss?

    By Jonah Morgan,

    The New York Knicks have been one of the most active teams this offseason, but they have also lost some of their players from this past season.

    In a recent article by Bleacher Report's Dan Favale , he lists what he thinks is every team's biggest win and loss from this offseason. For the Knicks, he thinks their biggest loss is center Isaiah Hartenstein leaving in free agency.

    "Unlike Mitchell Robinson or Randle, head coach Tom Thibodeau could slot Hartenstein in the middle without having to worry about him limiting the team's dynamism at either end of the floor," Favale writes. "That two-way impact will be missed."

    Robinson went down with an ankle injury and missed more than half of this past season, and Hartenstein was able to step up and fill the hole left behind by his absence.

    He averaged just under eight points, eight rebounds, a block, and a steal per game this past season. His solid play was a huge part of the Knicks being able to make it past the first round of the playoffs, and the team will have to adjust to playing without him.

    Now that Hartenstein is with the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Knicks will need Robinson to revert back to his old self and stay on the court so the team can play to the best of its abilities.
