Celtics could pursue Mitchell Robinson amid Knicks, Lakers interest

The Boston Celtics are poised to enter the competition for center Mitchell Robinson this summer amidst interest from the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers. Sources indicate that the Lakers may offer $13-15 million, complicating the Knicks' ability to retain Robinson, given their salary commitments. Robinson played a key role in securing a championship for the Knicks at the end of the 2025-26 season. Should the Celtics make a competitive offer starting at over $15 million, they could strengthen their roster with the skilled rebounder. The outcome of Robinson's free agency appears contingent on the financial strategies of potential suitors.
