    If that's the best they can do, they clearly aren't trying and should just trade Damian away.

    This would be such a stupid trade. Almost as bad as the trade that the idiot Heat fans come up with.

    So would it be Ant, Nurk, Knox, Keon and #3 for KP, Kuzma, #8 and a future first?

    #23 and Nurk + Nas + Knox + Keon + other filler barely gets to a match in the 22-23 calendar year, but even then that’s a pretty irresponsibly built roster.

    oh and no to that #3 idea which is clearly fake.

    We’re almost certainly not going to move down from 3 for porzingis.

    That being said, if he is being offered for cheap because Washington wants to rebuild, I would love to get him in here to replace Nurk. His 3 ball is legit and he is a great rim protector.

    I'm hoping that was a VERY short discussion.

    I got kinda confused earlier. There is not a trade with KP coming back to us and pick 3 going to them that makes any sense to me.

    Nurk/Ant/3 for KP/Wright/Avdija/8?

    Dame/ Sharpe/Avdija/Grant/KP?

    Yeah, not feeling that.

    This rumor makes me want to projectile vomit all over my desk --- I will say it again IF Cronin really is this damn stupid I want a mob of fans with pitch forks outside where Cronin works with Signs of fire Cronin or we burn down the garden or something -- not joking -- LOL

    I still don't understand this, Porzingis hasn't decided if he will even opt in. He is a free agent if he doesn't.

    I'd use the Knick pick for him, but not the #3.

    oh, I trust that they're trying, but this would be a really poor level try. Thats some shit Marc Cuban would do.

    We’d be better but it would still feel like a letdown.

    If for some reason Porzingis opts in, which I find hard to believe.......It comes down to 3 things in my mind:

    Do we like someone at 8 the same as #3? (Some fans seem to )
    Are we better off with a 7'3" PF or with a good backup combo guard?
    Can Porzingis stay healthy? (This one concerns me most)

    This is someone's agent or someone doing a favor for some front office personnel. There is NO WAY that is something that would actually happen.
