I agree, i like the fit in NY more than LA. We know he wants LA, but they are a weird fit. Lonzo needs the ball in his hands 100% of the time to be effective, and we know PG is going thru that right now with Westbrook. And Ingram is redundant in so many ways to PG. Kuzma and Ingram really seem to be the future frontcourt there, so they need a center (Cousins?) more than another forward really. Obviously they would take PG and figure it out, as he is the superior player, but if i'm him, i don't like the fit there. In NY, he can operate with the ball much more, is surrounded by willing defenders and spot up shooters, and has 1 major star he should be able to pair with without concern of fit. The question would then become, is this someone Porzingis would want to play with?
