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.
Knicks have been terribly run since 2000, they did have that lucky finals run as the 8th seed in 1999 but ended up losing to the Sours. That whole ordeal with Isiah Thomas and Stephon Marbury was terrible, they were threatening to bring up dirt on each other. The carmelo era which was a total letdown, the Jeremy Lin saga that brought them more hype but they didn't get much out of it. Phil Jackson didn't do much except command a big salary for his "championship experience". Most fans want Dolan to sell the team already and let someone else run it.
