Spurs Interested In Pursuing Kristaps Porzingis In Free Agency

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Tue Jan 8, 2019 1:20 pm

The San Antonio Spurs are viewed as a team who would have significant interest in Kristaps Porzingis in free agency.

Porzingis will be a restricted free agent this offseason as the Knicks also pursue max free agents.

The Spurs would have a difficult time creating enough cap space this offseason to sign Porzingis.

The Brooklyn Nets have also previously been mentioned as a team that would be interested in Porzingis.

LOL. The media is really at an all time low as far as real journalism goes. Every team with space is interested in KP. He's a top 3 rim protector, 7' 3" elite shooter, who hasn't ever even played for an NBA level coach or played with even a G-League point guard. As much as I love the Knicks I'd actually love to see him play for a top 3 coach with a real back court if the Knicks are just going to torpedo this roster signing **** Jimmy Butler or some other tampon.

Only player Knicks would Trade Kristaps for is Lauri Markanen. Outside of that i can't see the Knicks allowing Kristaps to leave. Then again we are talking about the Knicks...

Missed 100 games out of 286 avaialble and counting, Great player, but with these injury concerns I wouldn't offer him a max, sorry Knicks fans.

Ummmm...Porzingis will be completing his third season in Summer 2019. He is not a restricted FA. He will not be a restricted FA until Summer 2020. Assuming that he doesn't blow out his knee again when he comes back, Knicks would surely match any restricted FA offer sheet.

In other news, many RealGM posters have an interest in dating a supermodel - and as much chance of doing that as the Spurs acquiring Porzingis as a restricted FA.

Next headline...

Spurs open up capspace to sign RFA Porzingis by dealing big 2021 expirings to Knicks... Knicks no longer have adequate capspace to re-sign Porzingis this summer!

Who cares who’s interested in signing KP? The Knicks aren’t letting him go anywhere this summer lol. Why is this even a headline?

Multiple sources confirm, so are 28 other teams.

I don't see a scenario where this happens.

Conspicuous timing with the Spurs current win streak. Too conspicuous.

I'm a Knicks fan which means i hate the Bulls with a passion but Markanen will be a hair less of a player than Porzingis and has a way better chance to stay healthy/durable in the long run. I love me some Kristaps but i wonder if a person at that size, being that athletic can stay healthy long term. I just want some sustained success finally and I think Markanen has a better shot at staying healthy while being an all star level player. I doubt the Bulls would do the trade anyhow.
