Kristaps Porzingis Traded to Mavs!

People don’t realize the Knicks had NO choice. He would of signed a tenure next year and they would of lost ALL their bargaining power along with still having Hardaway and Lee’s contract. They have a total of 4 first round picks in 2 years along with a shit ton of money and potentially Zion
Like i said my initial take is a solid move buy the Knicks; but they are poorly run and continually make bad decisions after bad decisions. So i can't give them the benefit. And i don't care how much space they have; it won't matter if they don't sign anyone......
 
This. I'm not sold on Porzingis as next great white hope. He's a good skilled Euro but let's not get ahead of ourselves thinking he's Dirk 2.0.

I think the Knicks did good in this trade and I think DSJ has a lot of upside. The Knicks are in position to possibly get Zion and some real good free agents.
My thing is they been selling this whole dream of Kyrie coming.....they should’ve got more for Porzingas. Basically got Dennis and cap relief.
 


I remember this sh*t....

Porzingis may be more injured than we all know.

Remember the Knicks would have been forced to pay him max dollars at end of the season, before seeing him play a single game post-injury.

If he was not the same, the franchise would be fucked for the next 5 years.

Now Dallas has to make that decisiin
 
He didn’t waste nothing lol. He’s never had the best teams around him. He should have two rings. All you can ask for.

They trying to get a superstar because they don’t know anyway to lure them. So the traded for one. If he hurt.....it’s stupid.
:confused: He took paycuts to have shit teams surround him. Only other cats I seen drag two completely different teams to finals was Lebron. Had Dirk had Lebron's cutthroat, ring chasing mind, he'd have left and had more rings. 7-footer who could run the break, shoot from the parking lot, and had an unstoppable go-to move. All wasted fucking around with Cuban's punk ass. Had he left for the Spurs it would have been crazy.

Two rings ain't all your can ask for with Dirk. It's like being satisfied with Bron's 3 rings, and bron legit chased them bitches.

Dirk ain’t Lebron. Never was. He was a great scorer. Great player. He had two finals runs in him. More than anyone thought.
You said IF he had Lebron’s cut throat mind......he didn’t. Dirks a legend in Dallas. He’s respected for not ring chasing.
 
Don’t Knox and Zoin play the same slot,

Also many seem to think the other duke player is actually better
NBA is more so positionless these days. Barret is the more polished offensive player for sure but Zion is gonna fill seats.
 
Smith & Jordan are automatically upgrades at their positions. Matthews is a good 3&D player where you know what he's gonna give you. They can still tank but its gonna take a little more work now.


Shit they ain’t trying to tank with that lineup....

That’s solid and if chemistry comes quickly they’ll win and get into playoffs

That's what I'm saying. Fiz got to manage things to keep the tank going.

I'd expect a buyout on Mathews or Jordan...A lot of playoff teams could use them

He'd be a bigger legend had he went to a better organization. That's my point. Despite Cuban, Dirk did what he did. Led a team to like 12+ years of 50 wins with shit support most times in the WEST and cats really talking about two final runs was enough for him. Unreal.

Just curious. Who are the other players to drag their teams to the finals without all-star help? Who was the last player to actually win a chip like that other than Dirk? The list is short: Hakeem. That's why I say he wasted his talent. He's on a list with Lebron and Hakeem.

Jordan is on a 1 year deal. Matthews has 1 year left also. If the Knicks want the be players in free agency this summer they gonna have to keep them.
