Show me the precedent of this happening with top 5 picks who have played well.

Harden? Kanter? Not every situation is the same but the point is that top 5 picks (or top 5 talent) on rookie contracts with bird rights get traded. It's not very often but happens.

In regards to KP, I don't think they are gonna trade him. It's NY and things get overblown by media. I'm sure they want to build their team around him now that is clear Melo is leaving

Harden was because they couldnt afford him.

Kanter wasnt in our long-term plans.

As I said, not every situation is the same. Different reasons, same outcome. My point was that, although unlikely, top talent gets traded in rookie contracts for several reasons: lack of minutes, bad fit, luxury tax, bad relationship with coach/management, you name it...

I think we both believe they are not trading KP. Things get always overblown by media in NY

I'm unfamiliar with the idiom, use of language being something I'm unfamiliar with. I'm not sure what a chochbag is but it sounds appealing, will it be thrown in with the farm for the lovely people at the New York Knickerbockers? Will there be any other sayings you're keen to embrace? Like "GO **** YOURSELF!" or "You're a gaping ARSEHOLE!"?

This is trolling the other was banter.

C'mon bro you're giving us Aussies a bad name. That saying made it's way to Australia with the First Fleet.
 
For what it's worth, Phil Jackson fell short of saying Porzingis is untouchable when he was asked. Start contrast to a year or so ago when he said both Melo and Porzingis were untouchables.
 
It's not likely at all, but Porzingis is the ideal guy to put with Gobert. If the Jazz had a little bit better pick to offer it would be more interesting.
 
Wouldn't you? The Knicks are an abomination of a franchise. Dolan is a hack and Jackson is a horrific GM. AND they have melo. Oof. Porzy sees the writing on the wall.
 
I know the thread suggests the Jazz could get the most important player to the Knicks franchise because he didn't go to locker room clean out but... no. They're not trading him, ever. He's literally the only thing they have going for them. thread should be in general sports imo.
