I do not want to trade Porzingis unless it's to bring in Giannis. We'll likely get cents on the dollar for a guy who has injury concerns, but also he is a hard working 7-foot elite two-way player.
Dry vape for me. Fireflys are awesome.
Couldn't disagree more. Surrounding Luka with non-shooters is setting him up to fail.
1) Luka needs spacing to initiate the offense because he doesn't have an elite first step.
2) You're potentially negating one of Luka's best traits (passing).
3) You're bringing in a one-position player (PG) who isn't great off the ball.
4) He would likely be a one-year rental if you're planning on pursuing Giannis because of his qualifying offer cap hold... you would have to renounce him to make space.
Two rookies tied up for years on cheaper deals makes way more sense for us IMO. Obviously draft is a crapshoot, but give me a guy like Desmond Bane for $2 million a year over Ntlikina anyday.
Edit: All else being equal I'd still rather have Immanuel Quickley than Frank Ntlikina.

Yea, Frankly I don't think there would be a big drop off defensively between Bane and Frank. The plus side is Bane is a fantastic shooter and relentless off the ball.
