Knicks:
Robinson is the best big in Knicks, but availability matters.
So they instead re-sign Hartenstein in which has been solid for them.
Then they trade Robinson for Rob, who is also great defensively when playing and with his cheap contract he can come off the bench.
They also receive Reath, just a fail-safe plan for a backup
Trailblazers:
They have a lot of big man and drafted another one. But Mitchell in a rebuilding team like Portland, he will thrive for minutes once fully recovered. And he will be solid for them.
