    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, that's a fair question. Offensively, I think it would work. Porzingis would be one more shooter spreading the floor with Nurkic closer to the hoop. But you're right--it would run a risk of not being defensively viable. I'm not sure how "switchy" Porzingis will prove to be. He has good quickness for a big, but I don't know if he has enough to successfully chase a 6'7'' small ball power forward around all game.

    If you are suggesting that offer isn't enough because that offer wouldn't be enough for CJ, it's a bad analogy. CJ wants to be in Portland; Portland's GM wants CJ to be in Portland. The reason for the Porzingis rumors is that he is disgruntled with his team, and his GM is disgruntled with him. Completely different circumstances.

    It isn't a question of getting true value back; it's a question of taking the best offer.

    Which of course that offer probably isn't. ;)

    ET is wondering if he would trade KP to the Fakers to get back with Jeannie Buss.

    Kriss was extremely underwhelming.

    I thought about it and i think Philly should trade Embiid for KP.
    That trade would be the exact replica of Grant Hill for Ben Wallace.

    Exact replica..... how?

    Grant Hill and Ben Wallace were free agents, and the only reason why Detroit did it was because Hill had already verbally committed to Orlando, and Wallace had committed to Detroit.

    1080 The Fan just reported that Boston has offered #3 and another first rounder to be acquired later for Porzingis. Wow!

    Plus a player, according to reports I've seen, though the player was unnamed. I'd assume either Jae Crowder (if Ainge was able to talk the price down) or Jaylen Brown (if Ainge came closer to Jackson's original price).

    I hope he goes to Boston and they also get Hayward and they beat the Cavs then the Warriors for the championship.

    Woj thinks this may be Phil just punishing KP by putting his name out there. Unless the offer is ridiculous, he's staying put and Phil is just messing with him.

    That's totally a thing that Phil would do.

    Porzingis should needle Phil right back - call him up and say "You don't have the balls to trade me!" and then hang up. Then when he doesn't get traded he's able to look down his nose at Phil once he returns for training camp. And if he IS traded, he's no longer a Knick! Win/win.
