Bleacher Report analyzed possible Knicks trades to replace injured Mitchell Robinson.

Norvel Pelle offers dimensions and a great engine. This combination typically leads to a lot of activity on the inside, which is why NBA teams keep looking in his direction.

He’s still looking to hook somewhere forever, but he spent last season with the Philadelphia 76ers and has already found his way to the Brooklyn Nets and Sacramento Kings this year. There’s a reason the teams keep coming back. He makes things happen around the basket, and if that’s all a team needs from his center seat, he can scratch the itch.

According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, the Knicks are fans of Pelle and consider him the first time Robinson got hurt this season. New York has other interior options, but Pelle belongs to the discussion.
