Porzingis will not play a single game for Dallas under his rookie contract. He will sign a new contract this off season.
The reports are he's going to sign the QO which is about $7.5 million. I'll believe that if it actually happens though.
 
Ya, Dallas is gonna throw 150 mil at him and have him on a squad that has some serious potential with Luka. No way he walks from that.
Unless he fires his agent and signs with Rich Paul.
 
The picks going back to NY are:

2021 1st Unprotected

2023 1st Top-10 Protected

I like this deal a little more for the Knicks now than I did earlier. I wonder what they'll do if they strike out in free agency?
 
If Porzingis returns healthy and resigns the Mavs are gonna be very good for very long. I’m not a Cuban guy but he’s got a sack, I’ll give him that. I like this for Dal.
 
Philadelphia already interested in Matthews if he opts out with the Knicks...

Depending on his injury and he takes time off next year as well, that could be a disaster for Mavs if he signs the QO. I agree that doesn't seem likely. Maybe a 1 or 2 year contract with another year with a player option, then go for the big one.
 
I wish we just got Porzingis. Most players come back full strength from that injury nowadays.

There’s nothing we could’ve offered that would’ve matched Dallas. New York wants cap space.

But I’ll say this; if our roster looks the same headed into the playoffs as it does now, we’re getting smoked..again. Olshey has no excuses. Team is winning. Give them some god damn help.

I read something saying it's only 4.5m.
 
It has also been almost a year and still not on the floor. That is also a little unusual.

Can you imagine Blazer fans if Neil traded decent assets for an injury prone 7'3" center/stretch 4, who while sitting out a year with a torn ACL demanded a trade because he wasn't happy?
Keep in mind he has only played 3 years in the NBA and is already demanding things. On top of that he is a Euro who could always go back after his contract was up.
I don't think Neil would win many fans with that either.

I'm not an Olshey fan, but this time he had good reason to hunker in his bunker.

We don’t know that. We’re a very good team. Playoff success will depend on matchup.
 
Ask Kings fans how easy it is to make the playoff. Making the playoffs in the West is difficult. We made 5 seed in 2016. 10 teams behind us. Impressive. Oh and we won a round. Many people thought we’d be a 20 win team that would take years to get back into playoffs and Neil surprised everybody with shrewd moves and has continued to keep us competitive every year.

You didn't just imply that a dumpster fire of a franchise not making the Playoffs for over a decade equates to making the Playoffs not being that big or a deal, did you? Right now in the East, there are two teams who will make the Playoffs at less than a .500 record. Making the Playoffs in the NBA is like getting a Bowl Game in college football.
 
NYK Gets: George Hill, Future MIL 2nd, Future POR 2nd
MIL Gets: Al-Farouq Aminu, Maurice Harkless, Elfrid Payton
NOP Gets: C.J. McCollum, Zach Collins, Anfernee Simons, Thon Maker, 2019, 2021, & 2023 POR 1sts
POR Gets: Anthony Davis, Wesley Matthews, Solomon Hill
--------------
NYK Sends: Wesley Matthews
NYK Receives: George Hill, Future MIL 2nd
- Instead of simply buying out Matthews, New York gets Hill's expiring contract ($1M guaranteed next year) and buy's him out, receiving two future 2nds for it.

MIL Sends: George Hill, Thon Maker, Future 2nd
MIL Gets: Al-Farouq Aminu, Maurice Harkless, Elfrid Payton
- Swaps Hill for an equal PG in Payton, and uses the money saved to swap Maker and a Future 2nd for Aminu and Harkless. They could use another PF and Aminu and Harkless both fit their switchable defensive scheme (along with Giannis, Middleton, and Snell)

NOP Sends: Anthony Davis, Solomon Hill, Elfrid Payton
NOP Gets: C.J. McCollum, Zach Collins, Anfernee Simons, Thon Maker, Three Future POR 1sts
- New Orleans gets a star in C.J. who could finally become a number 1 option and is a great fit next to Holiday (if they keep him). They also get good futuristic assets in Collins, Simons, Maker, and picks. Maker and Collins could be a very interesting, high potential front court going forward (along with Okafor who's played great). Very solid package for AD. They also shed Hill's terrible contract in the process.

POR Sends: C.J. McCollum, Maurice Harkless, Al-Farouq Aminu, Zach Collins, Anfernee Simons, Three Future 1sts
POR Gets: Anthony Davis, Wesley Matthews, Solomon Hill
- Portland lands Anthony Davis and keeps Nurkic. They also get a familiar SG replacement for C.J. in Wesley Matthews who's still a good 3-and-D player and is a good fit in that lineup. They have to take on Hill's contract, but it expires in 2020 along with ET and Meyers. If AD leaves in 2020, Portland would have an enormous amount of cap space to try to surround two stars they'll still have in Dame and Nurkic. Portland should look for a 9th man to their rotation below through the buy-out market. Preferably a hybrid-forward.

PORTLAND 8-MAN ROTATION:
Lillard (36) / Curry (12)
Matthews (30) / Curry (18)
Layman (18) / Turner (30)
Davis (36) / Layman (12)
Nurkic (30) / Leonard (18)

MINUTES:
Lillard & Davis - 36min
Nurkic, Layman, Matthews, Curry, & Turner - 30min
Leonard - 18min

Oddly enough I think New Orleans is the only team that would possibly accept that deal, ha ha.

New York is trying to save every penny next year. Adding $1 million to their guaranteed number is most likely a no go even for a 2nd rounder.

Milwaukee doesn't want to take on guaranteed money for next year that isn't a long term center replacement. They might lose Brook Lopez so adding two wings instead of a backup plan for him leaving is probably a no for them. Plus they have to re-sign Middleton, Brogdon, and possibly Bledsoe if he opts out. They don't want other salaries like Harkless messing with that.

Portland giving up CJ, Collins, Simons, and 3 1sts plus having to take on Solomon Hill is a little too crazy compared to what other stars have been traded for lately.

You could probably work something out with Harkless going to New Orleans instead of Milwaukee who sends Mirotic to Utah (who wants a stretch 4) with Favors going back to Milwaukee. Solves the Milwaukee problem.

With New York, they could probably swap Hill to a team that needs a PG for an expiring with no future money guaranteed. Could attach one of the future 2nds if needed and theyd still gain.

So a 6 team trade then?
 
Maybe Dallas is interested in Trent due to he playing on there G-LEAGUE. Plus he the best player on that team. Don't be surprised Dallas try to trade for him.
