Porz would've been a perfect compliment next to Rudy or Favors, was actually saying that leading up to the 2014 draft. Good contrast next to Kanter too.
He's #1 pick in the draft good.. No way Okafor is better, im 100% sure. I'd go as far as saying I think he's headed to the HOF..
He's too good to bury on the bench though. Probably would've ran Favors outa town.

There was this tweet from Woj before the draft...
@WojYahooNBA
Knicks keep pursuing deals to move out of No. 4 spot and back in lottery, league sources tell Yahoo.

Forecasting HOF already is obviously premature.

Well that trade doesn't work, it sends like 6mil too much to the Knicks. Also; The Knicks would hang up the phone and laugh about it later. There's not a snowflakes chance in hell the Knicks accept that trade, so it's kinda moot, the fanbase would flip out. Kris is already co-signed by all sorts of basketball legends, Magic Johnson was tweeting about him today IIRC. 'The hood' has cosigned him already too, all they needed to see were these pictures on the frontpages of the papers.. Clyde Frazier loves him, he's always talking about Porz conserving his fouls because the team needs him.

Part of the reason I'd do that trade hypothetically is because of the contract value though, Porz is cheaper, for an extra year, and restricted.
It also depends on what your hoping to accomplish with that trade, if its make the playoffs this year, it's not so obvious right now at 4-2..
I do think Porzingis will be better than Favors though.. I often use Favors as a comparison point and to me Kristaps is clearly beyond that, if were talking upside, he's less limited than Favors, he's clearly a better athlete, and better shooter, his ball-handling is much better, compared to Kris, Favors is kinda old-school
Porz, like Towns, is putting up Yao Ming type rookie numbers early on. Favors wasn't ever going to do that even in a best case scenario as a rookie..

Nice post.
Nice post.
PG_AB would have pumped Shareef Abdur-Rahim up so much if he'd been a member in the mid 90s.
No one's talking about legitimately trying to trade Favors for Porz, at least not right now. Before the draft, maybe the Jazz could've done Lyles/Burks/Burke/picks or something.
These are all such moot points now of course. But the thought did cross my mind, even with Favors and Gobert here already. I guess the rumors of the Knicks liking Lyles a lot, hating their slot in the draft, and me trying to talk myself into why taking Lyles was okay led me there.

So your like.. an old person on the internet, that spends time taking cheap-shots at other posters? Seems childish and wasteful. I'd school you on this particular subject too.. coulda been a learning opportunity for ya, since you're totally outclassed... how's that make you feel? (like typing something evasive?)
Were you picked on in HS or something? and now this is how you exact your revenge? in your second childhood, on the internet? Is this the result of low-T ?? - don't you have something better to do??
I'm not allowed to have my own opinion here without being ridiculed, thats been obvious for years.. Really funny stuff, no matter how many calls I get right, it's still not enough -- Just like the Knicks forums I was on years ago.. It's glorious I've gotten that type of response here, I must say. y'all remind me of some Knicks fans --- they treated me the same way.
I don't mind dancing circles around the lames on this website -- It's lighter-work for me than I could've ever expected, I gave Jazzfanz more credit than they deserved.. P.K.M.s the only worthy adversary for me here, and we're mostly in agreement on these topics.. So it is what it is.
3 cheers for Mob Mentality!!! HIP-HIP-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO-RAY, Isn't everything just much easier when we all agree? we can all agree on that?? right??
Y'all champion this fruitcake Cy on this site, who's constantly reversing course and hedging his terrible opinions -- While I get my balls broken for sticking with my guns -- It speaks volumes.
Thing is;I don't need to see respectful responses to know that I've got respect here, y'all would rather talk about me personally than argue with the logic in my posts, That's more than enough. When y'all start thrashing the logic in my posts, then you'll have my attention, until then it's just bugs vs a windshield.

So, basically, Knicks fans are half wits and the reason why the team is stuck in perpetual suck?
PG, you haven't made your annual post-draft threat to quit and never come back only to return a few months prior to the draft post. Is this that moment?
