Isaiah Hartenstein says leaving Knicks for Thunder was ‘perfect’ decision for everyone
NY Post
OKLAHOMA CITY — Isaiah Hartenstein played his former team Friday on a production binge with the Thunder.
It was one of those rare instances when it actually worked out for both sides.
Oklahoma City got Hartenstein, plucking him away for a free agency price that seemed exorbitant but already looks like a steal.
The Knicks took a pivot to Karl-Anthony Towns, who is on a trajectory to starting in the All-Star Game.
“It was smart,” Hartenstein said before scoring four points and grabbing 14 rebounds in the Knicks’ 117-107 loss to the Thunder. “I think it was for both parties, it was perfect. I’m in a situation here where it’s going really good. They got a great center, one of the best centers in the league. So I think for both parties it was perfect. Knowing Leon Rose, he’ll always find something. He’s been doing a great job, so he made the right adjustment.”
After recovering from a broken hand sustained in preseason, Hartenstein’s return coincided immediately with a ridiculous stretch of 17 victories over 18 games.
