    Eh. I'd keep the #2

    I'm not in love with Porzingis

    Is Porzingis better than Randle? I'd say they're pretty close.

    I rather have Lonzo and Randle than just the zinger

    If it was just #2, I'd think really hard about it, might not take it considering DAR is gone and we need a PG. But knowing Phil, he's probably asking for a pirate's bounty in return.

    If I was Boston I'd trade the #3 for zinger and then give a nice offer to Indy.

    Imagine
    IT
    Hayward
    PG
    Horford
    Zinger

    Thats competitive with Cleveland for sure and might convince George to stay.

    LoL more vindication. Seriously it's Xmas time in the summer for me.

    The fact that the Knicks want so much for Porzingis is hilarious....yet people complain about the DLo trade! Lakers didn't sell at pennies on the dollar.

    I don't think someone who averaged 9 1/2 rebounds per game in their first 2 seasons is overrated. I agree no one would give a top 5 pick for him. I question those that would give a top 5 for Porzingis.

    But there are teams that would....i would do 2/jc for zingis, he is your modern day 5...use open money to get lowry if we can trade for pg

    Lowry/pg/ingram/randle/zingis....perfectly balance, 4 guys that cant hit 3z, randle does all the dirty work inside

    I agree. There are teams that would. I hope we're not one of them. I'm definitely not giving Ball for a 7'3" guy who gets 7 boards a game.

    Trading #2 For overatedzinges made more sense when Dlo was still a Laker. Who would play pg then? Ennis? Clarkson? Ya, no.

    Sorry, what?

    Your proof for lakers not getting shafted is knicks asking for more?

    I'm going to guess it's because you think porzingis is a much much better player. Attitude issues be damned, when it's convenient.

    Damn...

    LoL .... Porzingis is playing the big boy game. The fact that Phil can't handle a player playing with him says plenty!! Not even MJ dared but Kobe did.

    Think Porzingis is better? Not at all, I KNOW he is better!

    sign one, if PG is obtained via trade, we'd still have cap if we reroute Lopez to Hou with no salary coming back to us....there's plently solid Pg available, Lowry, Hill n Teague (who both probably wouldn't mind following PG here), maybe even cp360

    well Lopez never avg. more than 7rebs either lol....I can live with a low reb big since he's making up for it with his rim protection and 3pt shooting. If a C could shoot 3's, double digit boards, pass shot, etc. then he'd be a true unicorn, only one like that somewhat is Cousins but he's a nut job.

    As much as I love KP I want Ball more.

    Best offer to Phillip .... Randle, JC, Deng, 27 & 28 for KP and Melo!

    His asking price is asinine. If we hadn't already flipped Russell for Lopez, I'd have listened for more than 10 seconds, but no thanks.

    Lopez
    Zinger
    PG
    BI
    Hmmm

    Some length in that starting 5

    If they were to make that trade, I'd wait on PG til next year as s FA, and use the 1st rounders for quality depth to develop.

    Still leaning to keeping #2
