Author of a full season in New York, Isaiah Hartenstein could fill his pockets during Free Agency. According to Yahoo Sportsthe pivot is applying for a contract between 80 and 100 million dollars.
From replacement pivot in New York to prime target in Free Agency, there is only one step and Isaiah Hartenstein has taken it. The former Clippers perfectly replaced Mitchell Robinson this season, bringing his combativeness, his defense, his rebounds and his game intelligence in the Knicks racket.
Free this summer, Hartenstein will now have to decide on his future. Even if his stats are not the flashiest (7.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.2 interceptions, 1.1 blocks on average in 25 minutes), the player has all the makings of the perfect role player and the low number of worthy pivots on the market this summer (Valanciunas) only helps his value. The Thunder in particular would be ready to move their pawns.
But to obtain Hartenstein, you will obviously have to go to the checkout. According to Jake Fisher of Yahoo Sportsthe pivot could take advantage of the competition to get a contract of 80 million over 4 years. (this is what Jakob Poeltl obtained last summer) In the event of a bidding war, the insider even imagines a scenario where the German manages to obtain up to 100 million. This season, Isaiah Hartenstein was paid $9 million, so he is preparing to double or almost triple his emoluments.
This race to sign Hartenstein is a problem for New York. The Big Apple franchise is limited to 72 million over 4 years, under a rule around the player’s Bird Rights. The Knicks may therefore not be the most lucrative offer for the 2m13 giant. It remains to be seen whether he will favor a setting in which he has flourished this season or a better price elsewhere.
