The New York Knicks have moved to address their frontcourt depth following the departure of center Mitchell Robinson. Restricted free agent Moussa Cisse has agreed to a two-year offer sheet with the team, according to recent reports.

Cisse, a 6-foot-11 center who played for the Dallas Mavericks on a two-way deal last season, averaged 4.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game during his limited time on the floor. His new deal with New York includes a partial guarantee for the first season, with the second year remaining non-guaranteed.

Because Cisse is a restricted free agent, the Dallas Mavericks retain the right of first refusal. They have until Monday, July 20, at 11:59 pm ET to match the terms of the offer sheet and retain the player. If Dallas decides not to match, Cisse will join the Knicks to help reinforce their roster rotation in the paint.

This move represents a direct attempt by the Knicks to manage personnel changes after their recent championship run. The organization focuses on building out its bench as it prepares for the next season, looking for players who can contribute immediate defensive presence and rebounding depth. The decision now rests with the Mavericks' front office regarding how they value the young center's future potential.
