San Antonio Spurs Receive: C Alperen Sengun, 2023 First-Round Pick (LAC or MIL via HOU)
New York Knicks Receive: G/F Devin Vassell
Houston Rockets Receive: C Mitchell Robinson
In a way, this trade is funny. Robinson is almost the exact opposite of Sengun – isn’t he?
In the eyes of most fans, probably. Robinson appears to be a limited offensive player. On the other hand, he’s already one of the best defensive big men in the NBA.
With that said Robinson does not seem to recognize those offensive limitations. Recently, he took to social media to complain about his role with the Knicks. Robinson thinks that he’s capable of more.
Is he? Who can say? Robinson hasn’t had the opportunity to showcase what he can do outside of his limited role.
