You got the feeling when news broke that the Knicks were signing Mavericks rookie center Moussa Cisse to a two-year offer sheet that it wasn’t really going to go anywhere.
The New York Knicks have been on the hunt for a third center since Ariel Hukporti’s departure earlier this month in free agency. The Knicks thought they found their Hukporti replacement on Saturday, reportedly signing restricted free agent center Moussa Cisse to a two-year offer sheet.
The Mavericks continue to make it clear they like what they have in young center Moussa Cisse. Dallas will match the Knicks’ offer sheet for the restricted free agent, per ESPN’s Shams Charania, ensuring Cisse remains with the team after an encouraging rookie season.
The New York Knicks have one roster spot up for grabs with a glaring need for another big man following the departures of Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti.

It is easy to make the statement that the Big 12 is the best college basketball conference.

Baylor looks primed for another season of great success but there is a lot of competition at the top.
