Mitchell Robinson's series with the New York Knicks has been far from perfect, and it's almost tough to see a scenario in which the Knicks decide to bring him back. Robinson has been a nice player for them over the course of his career, currently the longest-tenured Knick, but he has had a lot of problems on both sides of the basketball, which have been evident throughout the NBA Finals.

His inability to stay on the court because he misses free throws has also forced the Knicks to take him out every time they're in the bonus.

While he hasn't played well, it's not crazy to think another team in the league would be interested in signing him, with the Los Angeles Lakers reportedly showing interest.

“Teams regularly relayed to me when I’ve asked around about Robinson’s status have pointed to the Bulls, Hornets, Lakers and Raptors. Those are all clubs known to be looking for center upgrades,” Jake Fischer wrote.

The Lakers would have the same problems the Knicks have with Robinson, but pairing him with Luka Doncic could be a lot of fun. Doncic makes things a lot easier for his centers.
