I'm sure we're trying to lowball them just like every other team.

"Last season, Porzingis avg more PPG than Aldridge, more Blks than DeAndre, shot better from 3 than JR Smith, more dunks than Blake. He's 21." from twitter

Here is the original source realgm wiretap is piggy backing off of...

The Suns, who own the fourth pick, are trying to offload the two years and $29 million remaining on Eric Bledsoe's deal as part of any trade package, sources said.

We want to move Bledsoe's contract yet nothing about Knight?

Are the Knicks okay with trading a potential star player away within their same division? That could turn out to be awful.

For example, i don't think the Suns would've ever considered trading Dragic or IT within the division.

Bledsoe is actually wanted by teams. Knight is not. We're stuck with him until his contract expires, then I can honestly see him not being picked up by a team in free agency and he just rides off into the sunset on his pink Vespa scooter.

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"

His ego is WAY too big. That's ridiculous. If Dolan had a brain, he'd fire Phil about now. But he probably just thinks "He has 11 rings..he knows what he's doing."

If this is real, I think Hornacek and Bledsoe had a pretty good relationship. Not positive. Too bad we don't still have Tucker...throw him in there. I don't think Hornacek is a Knight fan though.

CRAZY. Phil is pissed that Porzingis didn't do the exit interview. He called him a unicorn :lol:

Phil's gonna wait until tomorrow evening, Celtics are gonna be on the clock, Ainge is gonna call Phil up and make the deal right then and there.

That's my fear.

If we see them take Jackson tomorrow right before us I think it portends poorly for our chances of landing KP.

Nope. McD will finish up the deal tonight

If the Knicks were smart they'd commence a black bag operation right now and snatch Phil right out of his home in an unmarked van, holding him for a few days until they can get someone sane in there.

I'm honestly bummed for Bledsoe. Dude hasn't done anything wrong and actually has been committed and loyal to us the whole time and our FO has been dangling him in trade rumors for the past 2 years.

Probably because no one wants Knight? Just a hunch.
