If you don't highest bid for Porzingis, then who do you.

I know he had a great rookie year but struggled last season.
How is his defense? What would make him a great get for us?

He averaged 17+ ppg last year. According to the Derrick Rose/Carmelo Anthony teammate conversion chart it's the equivalent of 25ppg.

"Nobody could possibly do a better job of driving the Knicks into the ground than Isaiah Thomas did!"

Phil Jackson-"Hold my beer!"

Well, he tweeted that we have talked about trading the 4 for a star player. Maybe he is mentioning old news.

has one of the most rare skillsets in the league: rim protector who can shoot 3s

add that to the fact that he's a giant and he's 21 and you get why he's called the Unicorn

I am so worried Ainge is going to outbid us

PG's are plentiful and Ulis is a stud. Plus we can pump and dump Knight.

I'm all on board for a Bledsoe + #4 for KP trade. Our front line would be a matchup nightmare. Ulis would keep everyone involved.

TJ, Chriss, Bender, and KP on the front line? Wow!

Its going to take a hell of a lot more than just Bledsoe/#4.

I'm starting to warm up to KP. We are definitely moving Bledsoe

Could just be Jackson trying to get Pozingis into line.

KP is a guy I would love to have. I'd move #4 and any other player outside of Booker for him. No one outside of Book imo is as established or has more potential on our team than KP. Also for those who talk about the potential of #4, I'm a subscriber to the saying "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

Sounds like it'd be in the same deal for Porzingas I image if PJ wants a starter and pick

Suns chief and only advantage is that they can eat the Noah deal if needed. If the Knicks are looking to blow it all up for the umpteenth time, the Suns could take Noah off their hands and still offer a good package of players/picks in exchange.

Porzingis is the ideal modern day 5. Great shot blocker, solid outside shot, very mobile and explosive for his size, can even handle the ball well. He'd be a perfect fit for us, especially if we can hold onto Quese and/or Bender.

On that topic, I don't understand why Phil is so intent on trading KP, he's basically their ONLY bright spot in their future.

No, Jackson made it clear today that Porzingis is gone. Poor guy is having some sort of meltdown. This is from an interview today.

"I HAD a good relationship with KP" As much as we love this guy, we have to look to the future." "I've never had a player not come to an exit meeting."

Al just asked why they would trade KP.

Phil told him for the "future".

"As much as we value KP we have to do right for the club"

Fun question: How do we acquire ALL of Butler, Porzingis, and Paul George? Everyone but Booker is expendable. GO!

Suns are offering Bledsoe in trades

Phil is going full on senile apparently.

You can't. Screw those other guys, I want to see a Booker/Porzingis combo, maybe with Chriss or Bender giving that monster but athletic front.
