The New York Knicks were hesitant to include Mitchell Robinson in trade negotiations with the New Orleans Pelicans for Anthony Davis, sources told Ian Begley of SNY.
"In talking about how important he is to this club, I was told that one player that was mostly off-limits in those Anthony Davis trade talks was Mitchell Robinson. That just tells you how important the Knicks feel he is to their future," said Begly in a television appearance for SNY.
The NY Post had reported that the Knicks never made a formal offer for Davis.
Robinson averaged 7.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks in his rookie season for the Knicks.
