Isaiah Hartenstein REVEALS Real Reason He Joined OKC… | Knicks News | The Knicks Recap Podcast

The Knicks Recap: A New York Knicks Podcast

The New York Knicks have had one of the best offseasons of any team in the NBA! They have also had success re-signing their current players to keep the core we have intact. Unfortunately for NY, one player they couldn’t retain was Isaiah Hartenstein. Hartenstein chose to join Oklahoma City Thunder after they made him a substantial 3 year, 87 Million dollar contract, with 58+ million in guaranteed money on the table. Recently, Hartenstein sat down with NY Post Journalist Steph Bondy to discuss the real reason he joined OKC, who was in the meeting to retain him and what it would have taken to stay with the Knicks… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!
