It would probably have to be Crowder, Bradley and the pick. I wouldn't be able to say yes fast enough.

Only if the C's were to magically get their amnesty back.
That's probably the poison pill. Cripple you from picking up a max FA.
Phil out here talking like a scorn woman
Porzingis trying to get dumped on purpose
That's what I'm talking about.
Phil Jackson been like that for a while now. And there's no reason to assume Porzingis is happy with the current state of the Knicks. No one in their right mind would be.
I don't know if its the New York media stirring all of this up but Porzingis seemed to be pretty passive aggressive with regards to the Knicks. And it seems like he's intentionally doing this because it keeps riling up Phil Jackson, which riles up the New York sports media. And we've basically seen the New York media turn on the Knicks/Dolan/Jackson and not Porzingis. If Porzingis is stirring shit up by not attending meetings and rubbing Phil Jackson the wrong way, it gives him the easiest way out of New York without becoming New York's Lebron.
You right. Rookie contracts are always longer than i remember.
Is that really crazy?

Zinger might be worth it though.
Even if it wasn't the original plan, these opportunities don't present themselves often.
I just want Gotdon to stay in Utah, but this would make both teams happy.

This is my new favorite web page ever. Bob Ryan is the best.

Phil does realize his legacy is going to have this huge stain on it every time someone writes about him now right?
Like we've seen NBA stars fuck up the front office before but they are usually fired long before reaching this point.

New to this thread, but I just needed to tell somebody that I'm seriously debating abandoning my lifelong Knicks fandom in favor of a new team. I wish the NBA was having an expansion draft like the NHL this year. Not because the league is too strong (clearly not), I just would like a fresh start somewhere. This franchise is a fucking joke.
How do you prepare for the future by trading your star 22 year old 7'3 unicorn? I am so so salty.

He's 22 and already one of the best rim protectors in the league and offensively is solid
He got 11 rings and lived through almost trading Kobe.. he good.

How many 7'2" or taller players have played productively into their 30s in the past 25 years? I can only think of one.

I think this makes sense. You trade a great player for multiple good players + high picks. New york needs a lot of help just to be decent. And if porzings dont wanna be there, this is a win win.
7'2+players probably comprised less than 5% of players in NBA history...

In almost a decade Porzingis may not be productive? Ainge would be a fool to offer anything but a protected 2nd round pick.

How many players have been in that mold and also awesome players, and then got hurt? Yao and who?
And "into his 30's" is 9 years away. That's a long time.

How many 7'2+ starters have there even been? I'm thinking you're working with a small sample size there. Even still, I'm guessing the proportion of most players of any height group being productive into their 30's is pretty slim anyway.

Age works differently in Europe so he's approximately 34 in american US years. Do it Phil, start the rebuild.
Why won't the Suns just do it themselves and get KP instead?

Because LMAo just makes more sense for a rebuilding young team.

So the Knicks should trade their best young player in the past decade because he's too tall? That'd be a silly reason to want to trade him. But even if you wanted to make that case, I'd argue that his weight and style of play suggest he won't suffer the same fates of past extremely tall players.
If that was a legitimate concern, why'd they use a pick on him two years ago?
So according to the 7'2 logic he was done on draft night. Phil a genius.
