As great as it would be to have Porzingis, if Giles and Bagley are truly your guys, then he becomes a surplus to requirements especially considering the injury and pending free agency.
No way should we have traded Fox.

Eh I don’t look it that way. More like Scott Perry knew that Fox was special long ago and thought he would give it a shot, as slim as the chances were.

"Hey Vlade I know you already have two super high value stud big man prospects on your roster but how about we give our really good but really injured young big man stud due for a max contract next season in exchange for the best young point guard in the league?"

Seriously. I am baffled that Perry would even try a deal so stupid.
The report before is that we were talking to the Knicks about Kanter so this probably came up at some point as an outgrowth of those negotiations. Obviously we're quite happy with Fox right now so he wasn't on the table and they seemed pretty motivated to get a young PG based on the names thrown around so far so that was the end of that conversation. No biggie.

The injury looms large. In addition to having one year left and wanting to go to a big market. He may never be the same player again. AD is where the question would be
You're kidding, right?
No way in freaking hell would I do it and there's no way Vlade would do it. He's worked too hard building what is just starting to come to fruition.
AD is a big market guy as well so I wouldn't trade for him either. I wouldn't have done it because I see Porzingis having an injury riddled career and his personality seems to have dramatic non winner all over it.

As much as I love Bagley, if a healthy Porzingis was available, you’d have to really consider doing it.

Porzie doesn't fit the fast paced type of play of the Kings. That's not to say however I wouldn't have pondered a trade for him.
Not at the expense of Fox or Bagley though.

I can't disagree. Yesterday's performance is what really has people (including me) over the moon. If this were two weeks ago before Bagley started to really get some major floor time and put up good production, a few people might be singing a different tune. KP isn't anything to scoff at for sure.

I've been as big a Fox advocate as anyone. I wouldn't want to trade him. But if I knew that KP was going to be 100% the unicorn he was in the past (and possibly even better) and the KINGS weren't already stacked with young BIGS, I would consider it.
Having said that, the fact that the Knicks offered the trade would tell me they don't think he's going to be the same player. And for that reason, I would have had the same reaction Vlade and the KINGS did.
I really don't believe the Knicks would have traded KP if they were unconcerned about his future.

KP has fallen out with multiple front offices and his brother wants to be consulted on all team decisions. Do not want, under any circumstances.

Porzingus for Giles or WCS is the only swap I'd consider. Bagley is already more valuable than Porz showing what he can be and starting his rookie deal
Wait, by "multiple" you mean the Knicks? Despite that awkward press conference I think it would be a bit premature to say that Porzingis has fallen out with the Mavericks front office just yet.
No. I’m banking on Bagley as well as our core growing together

That is correct. The Knicks changed regimes, although I suppose one could caveat Mills as a holdover.
