The New York Knicks are apparently not opposed to listening to offers for their star big man, Kristaps Porzingis. The young Latvian sharpshooting forward has expressed his displeasure with the Knicks recently and New York management knows all about it. Now they might want to make that move to move on from him and rebuild for the future.
The Boston Celtics, a team with a multitude of assets thanks in part to a recent trade to move back in the 2017 NBA Draft, is just one of the many teams who has expressed an interest in the potential All-Star big man. He fills some needs for Boston, most notably shooting, rim protection and rebounding. Could the Knicks move KP for future picks? Boston might have what they need.
Following comes from Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News.
As Phil Jackson’s stated publicly, he’s not ruling out dealing anybody — including Kristaps Porzingis. And the Celtics, who own the third overall pick in the NBA draft, are interested.
Now that trade season is in full swing ahead of the draft, the Knicks have been flooded with interest in their star, sources confirmed. And according to a source, the Celtics are among those teams.
