Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis sent out an unexplained tweet today that he quickly deleted, according to Mark W. Sanchez of The New York Post.
The social media message read simply, “LA Clippers” and was accompanied by three smiling faces.
The Clippers were eliminated from the playoffs last week and are believed to have interest in Porzingis’ teammate, Carmelo Anthony, whom the Knicks would like to trade this summer.
There has been no publicly stated connection between Porzingis and the Clippers, although there was a report that several teams contacted New York’s front office about his availability last month after he skipped an exit meeting as a form of protest. He left for Latvia and announced his intention to play for the national team without consulting anyone from the Knicks.
Still, there’s little reason to believe that Porzingis is being shopped around, especially if New York gets rid of Anthony. The 7’3″ forward/center is still seen as part of the Knicks’ foundation and is under team control on his rookie contract for two more seasons.
I think porzingis is just frustrated with the indecision in the Knicks front office. Kristaps (along with all Knick fans) want the front office to start building a legit core and stop paying washups for suds that have long been ringed out!
Rung out
Tru that
Noah isnt washed up the dude took 2 years off from playing basketball?, he’ll help them next season and lets not make Porzingis out to be like hes not part of the problem. If he really is that damn good he should have asserted himself as the first option instead of letting Melo and Rose take more shots.
Noah is washed up and Is a bum on the bench. Paul isn’t leaving LA. Not for newyork. Porzing is the future. Just not with melo
Is this you, James Dolan?
Porzingisi account was hacked.
I think Paul is signing with the Knicks this summer
Only if melo stays
You might get Kyle lowry
Ill gladly take Lowry
no he’s not. nobody wants to play for phil and dolan
Can I buy whatever you’ve been smoking whilst writing these comments?
If KP got traded to LA what would NYK even get?
Chris Paul, and future picks
Don’t the Clippers have like 2 firsts in the next 5 years or something stupid?
Yea they do
…and how would trading CP3 for KP improve the team?
Gives Knicks a floor general, plus Melo and him are good friends
Lmao. Bring friends has zero impact on trade value. KP involved in a CP3 trade makes zero sense for either team. 2k trade machine is not real life dude.
I would root against the Knicks for the first time in my life if our starting 5 would be Carmelo, Paul, Noah, Rose and Billy
3 of those guys are on the wrong side of 30 and I added Rose because I can just see them signing him saying we are going for it (AGAIN) we need to try something different. KP, Billy, is a good start to rebuilding, we need long athletic guards to add to the backcourt as the next step and maybe draft guy like Bell from Oregon in the second round for defense
Who is Billy?
Hernangomez. Irregardless, both teams are saying no to that swap, 1st rounders are not. Knicks wouldn’t trade KP for a 30+ yr old and Clips won’t trade the only player that makes them relevant in the West.
