For all the work that the New York Knicks have down to keep the roster intact ahead of next season, there is still a lot of work to do. 

The most glaring issue on the Knicks' roster at the moment is their lack of dependable size, especially at the center position.

After the departures of Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti in free agency this past offseason, the Knicks are lacking at least two more quality centers that can take up valuable bench minutes and lend some size to what's otherwise a relatively small team. 

To help assess that deficit of size, the Knicks could turn to free agent center with eight seasons of experience.

“One other note on free agent signings ahead of training camp: veteran center Tony Bradley has also been a player on the Knicks' radar. The Knicks do not currently have a third center, but there is a strong degree of confidence internally in the Karl-Anthony Towns-Andre Drummond duo at the position," Ian Begley of SportsNet New York wrote. 

Bradley played for the Atlanta Hawks and Indiana Pacers last season, being traded to the Hawks midseason, averaging 4.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists in an average of 11 minutes per game between the two teams. 

Standing at 6'10, Bradley offers the size and the experience that the Knicks could make a lot of use of as a late-game option to eat up minutes for either Towns or Drummond because as confident as the Knicks may be with their top two center options, adding a fresh pair of legs every now and then is invaluable. 

For both production and injury prevention and especially in Towns situation, having someone who can act as a buffer to get Towns off the court when he starts to approach foul trouble, Bradley would be a huge asset. 

With training camp and subsequently the season so close, Bradley is simply in need of a job and if the Knicks end up being the only team calling, they may be able to secure on a cheap, short-term contract, both qualities that the Knicks would appreciate in their newest contracts. 

The Knicks are a team that is front-loaded with proven talent, but they need depth as much as they need stars and top role players. 

Even if Bradley doesn't end up touching the floor all that often, his mere presence will go a long way in plugging major gaps in the Knicks roster and having more length late in games at all is hardly a bad thing. 

It remains to be seen if the Knicks actually do go through with getting Bradley under contract, but it makes sense as a move if they do.
