Current Sacramento Kings general manager Scott Perry joined the team last offseason after spending six seasons with the New York Knicks. Now, he\u2019s reportedly being connected to adding one of his former draft picks, Mitchell Robinson, who is set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason.<\/p>\n
Stefan Bondy<\/a>, who covers the Knicks for the New York Post, was the one to report Perry\u2019s interest in adding the familiar big.<\/p>\n \u201cSources around league have pegged Sacramento as a threat to pry Mitchell Robinson away in free agency. Kings GM Scott Perry has long been a fan of Robinson after drafting him in 2018 as a member of Knicks front office.\u201d<\/p>\n On a recent edition of\u00a0The Drive Guys, Allen Stiles and Kevin \u201cWhitey\u201d Gleason discussed the idea of adding Robinson, which would require altering their current roster in order to create space to add a notable free agent.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not really sure why the Kings would go in this direction,\u201d Stiles said<\/a>. \u201cThey have counted three centers right now, with obviously Domantas Sabonis and the two youngins that they just brought in, with (Maxime) Raynaud and (Dylan) Cardwell. Mitchell Robinson is a good player, don\u2019t get me wrong, but I\u2019m just not really sure what timeline we\u2019re dealing with here now.\u201d<\/p>\n More on Mitchell Robinson<\/p>\n Perry was part of the New York front office that selected Robinson out of Western Kentucky with the 36th overall pick. That\u2019s proven to be a steal as he\u2019s impressed in his seven-year career.<\/p>\n In 60 games played for the Knicks in 2025-26, Robinson averaged 5.7 points and 8.8 rebounds on 72.3 percent shooting. But it\u2019s his defensive impact that steals the show, evidenced by his 1.2 blocks in 19.6 minutes and countless more shots altered.<\/p>\n Finishing eighth in Sixth Man of the Year voting, he\u2019s also been a key piece in their ongoing postseason run to consecutive Eastern Conference Finals. Given that reality, what would his realistic price range be on the open market, and how could Sacramento clear space in order to offer him a competitive number?<\/p>\n Perhaps a sign-and-trade could be on the table to make something work, but it would take notable changes to their roster to even have a chance at Mitchell Robinson.<\/p>\n More Sacramento Kings content from Sactown Sports<\/p>\n Upcoming Sacramento Kings & NBA Offseason Schedule<\/p>\n Tuesday, June 23rd\u00a0\u2013 NBA Draft (Round 1) Thank you for reading\u00a0SactownSports.com<\/a>.
