    I would think you need to be a patient for several more years.

    You know what would be worse is if LBJ tanks the LA season and they win the lottery...

    Whoa, that would swing things back to being a more fair trade.

    Actually, there is - KP's medical reports! If they thought he was going to be back next and playing at his pre-injury level they wouldn't give him up just to shed salary.

    If Doncic and KP end up being good they won't be lottery picks but still draft picks are always nice to have I suppose.

    I don't know as the west is extremely tough and jury is still out as to when and if Porzingis will be back to full strength.

    If KP leaves those picks could be pretty good. They have to be 2021 or later if they're in the top 5 this year. Taking on all that salary makes adding to them difficult too even if he does stay.

    Maybe LeBron faces the curse of LA like Gary Payton, Karl Malone and Steve Nash did. They went their to chase rings but it ended their careers. :devilwink:

    I think the Knicks are stupid for thinking they will get two max free agents BUT....

    If any star leads NY to a title and back to greatness that is an awfully impressive accomplishment to add to your legacy. Someone like Durant could possibly redeem himself from the GS years if he did that, much like LeBron did when he won in Cleveland.

    If NY got two unprotected #1s then I actually like this deal for them. After that meeting they had to deal zinger more or less, and with him out all year, they got to dump 30 million off next years books, DSJ, and two #1s? And maybe they can flip Jordan. I almost like the deal better for them than the mavs.

    So many reports on twitter about how KP didn't trust the organization, which i totally get. But I wonder if Fizdale has anything to do with it.

    He clashed with a mainstay in Marc Gasol in MEM. Gasol won that battle. Then, he openly traded barbs with Enes Kanter with the media. Now, KP.

    Does Fiz have a problem with Euros? This has been thrown around in the past. He apparently made disparaging comments to Marc.

    OKC, the team that's far into tax, has a full MLE?

    Yeah, no.

    I suspect Porzingis health is a SERIOUS issue since NYK sold so damn cheaply. I'm no Neil apologist, but I'm glad we didn't trade anything of value for him. I think it's a great move for DAL since they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. But unless we could have had him for Turner/Biggie/Baldwin/pick, I'm not gonna be crying over this one.

    Interesting that 4 of the best PFs are (or already have been!) high in the trade rumors. With KP setting the market, deals for Davis/Griffin/Love will be interesting.

    I don't think there are parallels. KP is still on his rookie deal while Love/Griffin have negative value with relation to their contracts.

    Porzingis will not play a single game for Dallas under his rookie contract. He will sign a new contract this off season.

    That is a massive overpay for a non need.

    Edit: I can't see Memphis taking Baldwin back either.
