Kristaps Porzingis on the Move? Knicks shopping their young star!
Things have been crazy this week in the NBA with the Paul George and Jimmy Butler trade rumors and the draft swaps between the Celtics and Sixers. Now out of left field it is reported that the Knicks are exploring trading their young star Kristaps Porzingis. Knick fans everywhere are shocked with the reports that the Knicks are even considering a trade. Ian Begley has provided some insight on why this is happening:
"To clarify: NYK management, coaches have not been in touch with Porzingis since the skipped exit meeting. Teammates (Kuzminskas, Willy) have
Ian Begley added,
Ian Begley @IanBegleyNo one from the Knicks organization has been in touch with Kristaps Porzingis since he skipped exit meetings, per league sources."
This tension between the organization and Porizingis has been building up and most of us thought things will just blow over but with a lack of communication over the summer means this is a serious and can only get worse.
I am sure most teams are lining up at a chance to trade for Porizngis, who had a very good year and is one of the best young players in the league. At the least the Knicks should get a really good package back in return, which should set the franchise up going forward. Check back as we get more information.
