Kristaps Porzingis

#1
Probably unlikely but how would we feel about 5, 10, and WCS for Porzingis. Apparently he's upset there won't talk with Phil or the head coach and also skipped out on end of the year interview.

A while back Isola said they could trade him for a high pick and a young player. We are giving both plus another top 10.

Why for knicks: if they did trade him they're get a total of 3 top 10 picks and a promising player in wcs. Reports are they love Fox, Monk, and Frank with this trade they can get both Kentucky players and have the 10 for another prospect.

Kings: we'd get a possible franchise player and pair him with a core of Skal/Hield/Bogdan. Having a front court of Zingis/Skal gives us elite space and also both guys can play good pick and roll defense (Zingis already there and Skal with Potential. Hield would make a great backcourt as well with his shooting.

Too much for me

I would do it. Porzingis is a superstar in the making. The entire reason you draft players is to find a superstar. New York has one of them would be ignorant to let him go
I like Porzingis, but he isn't a superstar yet, and has a ways to go before he gets there. Personally, I think there are at least 5 players in this draft who could end up being better players. We are basing it all on potential right now.

Not a bad idea to look into, but that's a haul you give up for a top 10 player (i.e, basically our haul we got for Boogie), not a guy you think might get there. And I'd hold onto WCS, that'd be the pairing you'd want with Kristaps.

5 and a young guy? sure

5 and 10? eh...

10 and 2 young guys not named WCS? probably

I think that's a fair point but I'd argue he is showing more than the players in the draft. The players in the draft are pure potential but he has shown legitimate NBA talent in the NBA.

It's intriguing. However, the Kings would have to give up the farm for him and to be quite honest, I'd rather just stockpile as much youth and talent as possible and hope they mesh together and make trades accordingly.

NY would want the farm so as intriguing as a Buddy / Kristaps pairing sounds its probably unlikely. If 10 and two youngsters not named Buddy or Willi got it done then yeah I guess. With the 5th and Bogdan coming over we have a solid core and the makings of an attractive FA destination.
