Very surprised Mavs got Porzingis that cheap

[JohnnySic]

Damn. That

[coin24]

They must really want DSJ..

[lilteapot]

what dont you guys get?

We are in REBUILD mode. We dont need good players now. We're holding out for something better while we tank for a high pick.

Not surprised OP is completely wrong. Knicks killed it with that move....

Thinking Porzingis > AD is the same reason why Ainge the retard signed Hayward to a max.

[PeroAntic]

Porzingis is a talented player, but he is a major headache with his preference to play at the 4. Hes too slow to guard small ball PFs on the perimeter. He should be playing center, but hes too light and of underdeveloped frame to battle with bigs all game. If he was willing to play at the 5 and Melo at the 4 instead of them prefering the 4 and 3 respectively, the Knicks superteam experiment might have worked.

[raprap]

They got DSJ and the equivalent of 4 first round picks (one being unprotected)

They got off 30 million of bad salary for next year and multiple years of Hardaway. If they wanted to just dump Lee / Tim...it would have cost 2 first rounders.

This was a good move for the Knicks.

The Mavs? It could be great, but it could be a disaster now that we know they gave up 2 first rounders as well as taking on multiple years of money.

Hey man what do you think about Porzingis planning on signing the QO?

You've failed already when you put Carmelo and superteam in the same sentence

Why is everyone so high on Porzingis? He's injury prone, not very efficient, not an elite rebounder, not a good passer, mediocre defender, and at best an above average scorer.

[Rico2016]

I was too until someone mentioned he is still coming off an injury and taller dudes don't always bounce back as quickly.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I just can't imagine he'd give up all that money when he'll be on the same team with Luka in a pretty good market.

Like...what does he want if Dallas, Cuban, Dirk, and Luka isn't good enough?

He's going to risk like 120 million for the chance to leave one of the best young players the league?

I don't buy it, but we'll find out soon.

Carmelo and Porzingis were a superteam....?

Agreed.

Yeah..... he hasn;t even played a minute yet since the ACL injury. Neither team has no way of telling if he'll bounce back strong or not. That's why I see it as both teams taking a gamble. Knicks thinking he'll possibly never return to form or be more injury prone and Dallas hoping for just the opposite.
