The Knicks are eyeing Jonas Valanciunas as a smart, affordable backup center who fits their current roster and playoff needs—but his $10M price tag could derail their disciplined spending plan. With Mitchell Robinson sidelined and Andre Drummond in a different role, Valanciunas offers reliable rebounding and interior scoring without needing a superstar upgrade. The real challenge? Paying his full salary without breaking the bank or sacrificing future flexibility. If he’s available at a discount, he’s a no-brainer. Otherwise, the Knicks should keep hunting for cheaper options—or bring in multiple affordable bigs to camp. A costly move now could haunt them later.
