November 2nd: "Porzingis is out with a knee injury, return date unknown".
November 3rd: "Porzingis had a fight at a Dallas night club".

I think you should write the Mavs staff an e-mail with your knowledge. They will apprechiate the help from an expert like you

Problem wasn't his upper body strength. Its his knees/legs

Looks like we found out who's been putting the balance ball on top of the squat rack.

Has Mills learned how to not hand out stupid contracts and use the Franchise Player to dump them 1.5 years later and trying to sell the new cap flexibility as huge win?

a 7"3 mobile, athletic PF who played less games every season since his rookie year. Good Luck bro

Love the Knicks fans coming out of the woodwork to trash a guy who their franchise mismanaged and eventually gave away for peanuts.

I expect big things from KP this year, and he's clearly fully bought in as a Maverick. Can't' wait for the season to start

Knicks will regret this until the day of KP retirement

More weight on the inward bending knees.

I won't feel confident until I see him play a full season.

Phish Tank · Post #50 » by **Phish Tank** » Wed Sep 25, 2019 3:03 pm

maybe he can grab more than 6 rebounds a game now...

or shoot more than 45% from the field....

or not be tired in January due to anemia....

All I know is when the guy was healthy he was a nightmare to play against.

This season KP is going to be so much fun on the General Boards.

He'll look far, far better playing for Rick Carlisle and with Luka, than he ever did playing in NY. People will ridicule the Knicks for every single basket KP makes this season. Until he comes out of a game with an injury. Whether it's a torn ACL, a sprained ankle, or a bloody nose... before KP is even off the court, Knicks fans will already be gloating.

Carlisle is suddenly going to fix his rebounding issues, his health issues, his knee issues? Knick fans are actually by and large relieved there is no having to deal with the risk of KP's max deal with his injury history. Nobody is going to gloat if and when he gets hurt. We're too busy looking forward to Barrett, Robinson, Randle, etc.

Mavs fans are talking about KP like Nets fans are with Kyrie and Durant. Literally mentioning only the positives without thinking about the negatives. Signing KP to a max deal was a big risk and it won't automatically be successful. He's an unbelievably talented player but he comes with a lot of red flags. For example, Carlisle isn't magically going to make KP productive after the month of December, when KP in his first three years in the league constantly fell off. In NY he was the man, got all the touches, all the shots. In Dallas he will have to adjust. How will that be? We don't know. Plus he hasn't played competitive ball in a very long time.

It'll be fun to watch, but trust me, Knick fans won't care one bit about his made baskets or his injuries.

What you call "magic" is called good coaching outside of NY.

Why didn't Carlisle fix Tim Hardaway, Jr.? Did he turn Harrison Barnes into a beast? Why did Dennis Smith, Jr. flame out in Dallas?

Because there's nothing to fix. He was never a good player to begin with.

THJ is a scrub that you geniuses signed to a gargantuan contract. You guys were the ones who thought he could turn into a future All-Star. We here in Dallas recognize him for what he is --- a bench player with a ridiculous contract, and the price we paid to get Porzingis into Dallas.

Ah so Carlisle is only a magician and a fixer when it fits your narrative. He is a very good coach but couldn't do anything with the players I mentioned (you conveniently ignored Barnes and Smith), but now he's going to fix KP and all of his issues that you are ignoring.

Coulda had both.

I am rooting for KP to come back and have a long healthy career. He's so much fun to watch and him and Doncic together is what I prayed for...just on the Knicks. Such a poorly timed injury, if it had happened earlier in the year we would have had a legit shot at him (we went something like 4-24 after his injury) but he kept us in the playoff hunt up until the injury.
