Embiid is Wilt Chamberlain
Mitch is Willis Reed
And it is not only Embiid---anyone remember the Cavs series last season where he completely destroyed the Cavs frontcourt?
I don't think it is about Mitch's skill level at all. For example if today we knew that Mitch would play 80% of the games the next couple seasons and be healthy for the playoffs, everyone would be very much at ease. Heck I had the feeling that 80% of knick fans prefer a healthy Mitch over Hartenstein anyways. Mitch's defense is elite when he is healthy. Health is the problem though---we can't rely on that at all so we need another 20-25 minutes guy.
But like I said, I have complete trust in our FO. We have the assets to replace Hartenstein leading up to the deadline and we will do it.
