How about Payton, Ntilikina, Noel, and the Dallas 2023 pick back for Porzingis?

Hard pass. I wouldn't trade Payton straight up even if dallas adds that ****ing horse he rode in on.

That was relatively fast. Figured it might be closer to the end of his deal, before injuries made the Mavs willing to trade KP.

Would you really want that much of the cap hit for Porzingis? If he was an FA, and the price was right, sure. That huge contract scares me, lol. We dodged a bullet with thst trade, best not to step back into its path.

Yeah i wouldn't bring him back simply because of how things were left with him. He's now an injury prone player with a star attitude and lacks the defensive chops he once had.

And now Ian Begley is reporting that they reached out to Golden State to try and move Porzingis there. Maybe Wiggins and a couple minor assets in return i'm guessing.

Mavs A plus, Knicks F...heh heh heh....

Lessee, Essentially Randle, Quickley, Rose even plus cap flexibility and two first rounders to come vs what? A douchebag with a douchebag brother who can’t get on the court after a week off but his team then plays better without him. With a max millstone around his neck.

Mavs A plus, Knicks F...heh heh heh....

Hornets are an org and are in a situation where it makes sense, and they have some pieces to move. Graham, Washington, Monk, Zeller for KP.

Dallas will trade him to the Nets for Dinwiddie or something. Just to spite us.

If I had to take a stab at a trade a KP and something for Tobias Harris. A playoff healthy KP would be interesting on that team this season. Thats a lot of “if. Not a prediction. Just a thought.
I’m blown away that Dallas is really looking to move him.

Seriously, I wouldn't trade Randle straight up.

I wouldn't sign KP as a free agent. I like the team chemistry and defense the way it is.

Plus I don't miss cringing every time I see him run the floor, waiting for the inevitable injuries.

Now you can apparently add back spasms to his list of ailments. Assuming that's truthful.

No one would. He's a much better player, and obviously better health and durability. And something i never thought i would say but he's a better defender now too.

Nope not trading our all star!

Anyway, the latest is KP "unfollows" Mavs on social media:

The plot thickens but one thing is clear -- he's still a drama queen!

I knew his ego wouldn’t be able to handle Luka being the star of the team, as soon as Luka began eclipsing him the partnership was doomed.

Not denying KP's past behavior. Dont believe this is about Luka, but more his inability to stay on the court. The injuries robbing Porzingis of his quickness. Wasnt so long ago KP could defend speedy guards. Take defenders off the dribble.

Kristaps aint feelin' the love right now. KP wanted a trade, KP wanted to backseat drive the Knicks FO, even though he wasnt playing that season. Thats Diva-liks behvior. This is more about frustration that his body has failed him often, when it comes to his pro career.

KP should think about modeling his game after Kareem's LA years. Not as agile as he once was, but knew how to make an impact with his "skyhook". KP should make better use of his height and wingspan. Dont need to take defenders off the dribble to do that.

If he showed humanity and humility I would actually have a lot of compassion for the guy. But in the wake of all his princess-ness f@(k him.

No fun having your career take this kind of turn. But no, dont feel all weepy for someone with KP's net worth, who still is relatively healthy. Has options most people dont have.

If the Mavs cant or wont trade KP, they should consider trading for ROLO. A big part of their success as a tandem, was Lopez's ability to box out, take the tougher defensive assignment.Give
KP more room to work. Looks like he still has something left in the tank. Might be the kind of spark they need. Always gets high marks as a team player.
