The New York Knicks are struggling to find a reliable traditional big man as they search for depth at the center position following injuries and free agency losses. Despite recent trades and resignations, the team is still unsettled with their current center depth. Players like Mo Bamba, who was recently released from the Jazz, emerge as realistic targets. Although Bamba lacks high-end talent, he could provide the Knicks with necessary depth without significant loss. The urgency is amplified as other contenders are also looking for big men.
Bamba would give Thibodeau, who is often referred to as the "center whisperer," another Nerlens Noel-esque project and another body for a New York team that badly needs some depth.
After losing Isaiah Hartenstein to the Thunder in free agency and Mitchell Robinson to offseason foot surgery, they spent much of the summer trying to fill in that hole.

As the Knicks continue their quest for a big man, Mo Bamba emerges as a realistic option, potentially solving their depth problems without significant losses.
