With that stats, that is not helpful to any team, although in the later season his points averaged has increase.

This is why a lot of hardcore Knicks fan are so mad with the management behind it.
Porzingis stats was not that bad. There are worse things that happened with other players out there.
Plus, you can never have that kind of tall guy again with a great shooting capability and defensive awareness.
This kind of guys are rare. Nowitzki and Durant, that is why these two never got a lower salary. They are super rare.
Maybe it wont happen again in the next 10 years to have that kind of unique player.
Why let him go for this:
Dennis Smith Jr., Deandre Jordan, Wesley Matthews
Porzingis can do what this three can, maybe better and it will just be one seat for the entire roster. Grin

The last 2 were add ins to make the trade work. Dennis smith is a nice young piece but what you are forgetting about is the first round draft picks from dallas as well. Hopefully dallas sucks and those draft picks end up at least in the lottery. And it wasnt that the knicks "wanted" to do this, Porzingus expressed he wanted to leave so he would have walked in free agency and knicks would have gotten nothing for him. Not only that I think the knicks were reluctant to give a max contract to a guy who just blew out his acl, not exactly an easy injury to get over as a big man

The video is about those disrespectful moves in NBA and also a bit of local basketball league.

Video: When Disrespecting Another Player Goes Too Far

Those posterized highlights on that video (dunks, blocks etc) are not disrespecting, at least on my own view. I don't know why even back then it was called that way although maybe I just taking anything as "literal". Dudes are playing good offensively and defensively that's why it ended up like that.

I don't neither understand why he used the term 'disrespect' but maybe for an athlete sure it was a disrespect if someone did that in your face.
Good offense and defense but I also remember during my childhood that there were teasing once someone successfully played offense/defense in front of you.

They might be done with the experiment on Porzingis, and they want to try another experiment.

With how the management treat him, I think Porzingis deserves to play in another team, but this player is not extraordinary like Dirk, and the stars that have won championship already. I think him being in the Dallas Mavericks will make him more valuable as he already have Luka who can also generate points for the team, and we have to remember that these guys are still young, there's still more years ahead for them to improve in the NBA.

Dallas has a great chance also of getting into the playoffs in the season to come.

The problem with Knicks is that they got Porzingis which was a great young player that could make a difference but got rid of him. I mean the whole point of tanking (in this case just being purely bad) you end up getting too draft picks, Knicks literally denied to do their "process" properly and they have sucked so far.

They got some young kids from free agency and trades but that is not enough really, you have to actually make them play in a good system so that they can actually get better, you could potentially get Lebron James at 18 and then manage to keep him for 10+ years without actually using him like you should and he would have never been the player he is. That's why Knicks should first get a decent coach before anything and then a decent GM.

Porzingis expressed his desire to play elsewhere so the knicks got something for him rather than just lose him in free agency and get nothing. He also had a major injury and for a 7 footer to have an acl injury like that carries risk. I was happy we got something for him. Hopefully those picks can help us build a team. And if you are looking to get a new coach and gm, you get the gm first not the coach, but they just got a new coach. Need to see what he can do with a decent squad before we move on again from another coach.

Porzingis was sensational, but the injury is a big problem why they tank last season.

Looking at his statistics : https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/porzikr01.html
Tha games he played his decreasing, and probably the main reason is injury.

For the 3 seasons with knicks, he played.

2015-16 72 games , 2016-17 66 games , 2017-18 48 games

I'm a knick fan so unfortunately I havent been able to watch good basketball for years. I like watching this denver team and will be cheering for them as my adopted team this year Cheesy

. I was hoping the knicks got jamal murray coming out of college I like the kids game its smooth and fearless.

It looks like you are going to watch more of other teams rather than the Knicks.
We all saw how the Knicks fans are mad about why the Knicks did not even try to get Kyrie Irving or Kevin Durant.
Now they are left with young guns. But who know. Brooklyn Nets did came to the playoffs last year with full of young stars.
Maybe Knicks could also do it.
The very least will be taking it to the playoffs and maybe their fans will get a little happy for what they will see and be back on supporting them.

Yeah, I think there was a lot of noise that either KD or Irving or both could land in NY Knicks. There's even meme's floating around that time, and NY Knicks fans are very excited, however, we really don't know what happen behind, why negotiations failed (if there is one) to let the two get away and go to Brooklyn Nets.

I guess the young guns has to proved themselves this season, and who knows, maybe they can reach the playoffs this year even with their young roster. Or someone will really stop up to be the man amongst the boys..

I also concerned if what happened to this team it was anticipated that after allowing Porzingris to be traded they will acquire a well known stars to be build with their new young guns, if they take someone who can lift them up this season might also be interesting for them, still a better chance since they are in the east and most of those superstars from the west are going to compete.

But it's the management decision's so let see if how they will perform this season.

I was a actually one of the fans that did not want those 2. KD coming off a bad injury likely wont play for awhile and I just dont like kyrie's game. He seems to me to be more about himself than the team but maybe that's just perception. I'd rather the knicks build through the draft and get some of their own stars. Hopefully RJ will pan out and turn into a top player. We'll see.

The current roster of the KNICKS, https://www.nba.com/knicks/roster
The team is full of young players, I don't know if they can compete well this coming regular season, but at least since there's no star in the team, there's less pressure and they will play the based on how the coach design for them, which probably more on experimentation on the line up.

List of veterans I know in the team now,

Wayne Ellington, Taj Gibson and Marcus Morris. There are also familiar players but they are still new in the NBA like Julius Randle.

They have an easier journey because they are in the east, so if they will improve this season, they might be in the playoffs, but I'm sure if they are lucky to be in playoffs, they might do a first round exit with the young talent they have, regular season is pretty different compared the playoffs.

They finished last during the last season with only 17 wins and 65 losses, they are actually the worst in the NBA.

Changes in NBA Futures Odds:

Lakers and Clippers do now have @5.2 and @4.3 respectively. If I remember correctly, both teams are around @3 last month. Don't know what are the changes happen in Clippers but on Lakers, looks like it was because of Cousins injury.

And to my surprise, Milwaukee Bucks is also @5. Looks like there is a big expectation this year for this team. Does anyone know where to check NBA Futures for Conference champion? Want to check odds for Eastern Conference.

Lol I'm far from a denver fan but jokic not a superstar yet? He MADE All NBA first team. That is reserved for the very best players at their position so he isn't top 20 level, lol cmon man. At 24 dude almost averaged a triple double. And did you forget about Murray? Cant wait for everyone to be so surprised about this team killing it again this year.

Actually waiting for them to marinate and they will really taste better on the long run.
If I am the Denver management I would not let go of this two.
It is like the Draymond and Curry duo or the Billups and Rasheed Wallace duo. Once that chemistry blooms more then they would be unstoppable.
They will just need wing men to provide as a spacer to make that floor look likes it is a big dome specially for Jokic to move freely inside the paint.

I will try to watch every game of them and see how much they had improved from last year.

Knicks have to start with some young players because they are rebuilding, players with the same skills like Murray will fit with the team.
I believe we will see this improve in the long run because it's not possible, Celtics was once a bad team when they start rebuilding but had improve in the long run and until now they are still a team that has chance to win in the east. This team for example is better without a star, when Irving started playing, the chemistry has change and their performance level decrease as they love to share the ball, with a star whose offense are expected from him, it could change the system they built for years.

Those are just the bottom pit of west, neither Denver nor Portland will be doing anything major this year, they will literally be just bottom pit playoff teams that will be eliminated on the first round of playoffs and nothing more. They had a lucky year last season but that is over now that all teams on west have better superstars than Denver and Portland.

We can't even call Jokic and Harris superstars yet, they play well together but that's about it, they are not at elite top 20 levels if you ask me. I would say if things work out for them well Houston should be the clear favorites, they still have their core of harden/capela/gordon/tucker going on but they added Westbrook instead of aging and injury prone CP3 which would make a lot of difference if they can find a way to implement Westbrook to their team.
