No no. It is important we make the playoffs! KP said so.

You're blowing this out of proportion. He wants to win like every other player.

Again...you guys are misrepresenting facts. He is telling the media the FO needs to focus on the playoffs. Not simply...I want to win. This is B.S..
It's also the dumbest thing he's said in 3 years. It is also not his place to tell the GM how to run the team. If he wants to win...he should want the team to do WHATEVER is necessary to build sustainable successful team around him and not just a bad dash to a one-off playoff run....IF they even made it.
You guys can accept this but, I don't have to. I'm blowing it out of proportion? People aren't taking it for what it's worth IMO.
Porzingis says he hasn't talked to management about its plans and doesn't particularly care to be involved in the process.
"I think they know I want to be in the playoffs and that's the only thing on my mind. I'm not going to go in there and be like no, we're tanking. There's no reason to play," Porzingis said with a laugh. "[Making the playoffs is] only thing I'm focused on. What I need to do on the court to play better, make my team win."

KP is even laughing about it. I think your taking what he said way too seriousPorzingis says he hasn't talked to management about its plans and doesn't particularly care to be involved in the process.

Just so I have this straight, one of the most winningest franchises in the last 2 decades is willing to trade their BEST player in their prime to us for a 33 (might be off on Lee’s age) with 10+ mill owed to him over the next few years, a 19 year old rookie, a 2nd round pick who (despite me thinking he is solid) barely plays, and late lotto pick? There has to be something wrong that player to be traded for nothing proven except a super role player. The potential of something seriously wrong with Leonard and giving up our youth and future (23 and 19 year old, plus the pick) I don’t believe is worth it

Hernangomez barely plays. Ntilinkina has show flashes of potential and Courtney Lee s our most trade able asset. But we can probably sign someone like Rajon Rondo and draft depth with our 2nd rounders and end up with a starting lineup of:
Kanter
Porzingis
Leonard
Hardaway
Rondo

Oquinn/Lee/Jack for Singler/Patterson/Ferg/Felton and 2018 2nd.
They upgrade 3 positions and we take back 2 negative contracts in Singler/Patterson. Felton is trash but on a 1 year and should be cut.
Adams/Oquinn
Anthony/Grant
George/Grant/Huestis
Lee/Abrines
Westbrook/Jack
That is a deep team. Id say Lee is an upgrade over Roberson also, so now next season their bench improves even more when Lee or Roberson gets moved to the bench.
Knicks cut Singler/Felton. Knicks trade 3 guys getting 20+ mpg which should open things up for the younger guys to play. Next move is to trade Kanter/Lance for whatever you can get of value.
