Kristaps Porzingis The Worst Trade Of The Year

Kristaps Porzingis, Tim Hardaway Jr, and Courtney Lee was just traded to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Dennis Smith Jr, DeAndre Jordan, and Wes Mathews. The Knicks have officially made the worst trade of the season for many reasons. This trade has successfully put the franchise back years and no longer leaves them with an all-star on their roster. The Knicks have Knicks it up again.

The Knicks have successfully given Porzingis to LUKA DONCIC WHO IS ALREADY TAKING THE LEAGUE BY STORM! KP was talking very highly of Doncic before the draft and it was evident he wanted the Knicks to try to trade up to get him, but they made no real effort to try to bring in the 19 year old Euro League MVP. These two together are going to take the league by storm and no one will be able to guard this European Duo. Porzingis has already stated that he will sign the qualifying offer in the summer, making him on the team until 2020.

The Knicks have successfully put them back by years. KP is currently they only one on the roster who is an all-star caliber player. They also have traded one of their leading scorer this season in Tim Hardaway Jr, who is averaging 19.1 points per game. Courtney Lee is someone who I am glad they Knicks have finally traded, so he can finally start his career again. Lee has been buried on the bench and it will be nice to see him finally getting real minutes again.

Before the Knicks drafted Frank they had Dennis Smith eating lobster and it looked like it was guaranteed that they will draft Smith, but they passed on him. Now the Knicks can finally say they made up for passing on him in this trade and tell their fans they finally got him. Dennis Smith better become an all-star now since he was traded for KP. DeAndre Jordan and Wes Mathews are more for the Knicks to clear their salary cap because they are both free agents this year.

The Knicks made this trade pretty quickly to the Mavs pretty quickly. KP wanted to be traded just came out today with 6 teams, Mavs, Heat, Nets, Clippers, Spurs, and Raptors, all wanting apart of the trade talks. The Knicks didn't even really take offers from the other teams to see who they could've gotten. I refuse to believe this is the best option the Knicks could've gotten for the 23 year old 7 foot all-star.

This trade just means that the only hope in New York is that the Knicks can successfully get the first overall pick and draft Zion Williamson. They will have enough cap space now to sign two max contract guys, the only problem is how many people have they gotten the fans about. The Knicks were suppose to sign guys in the past like LeBron James, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, and many others, but none have ever came to New York. This offseason our best bets are Kemba Walker, from New York, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, or Jimmy Butler.
