This insane, I cannot believe it is happening. By signing that QO he is betting on himself so we will at least have him for a year.

@ShamsCharania: Porzingis is incredibly fond of Dirk Nowitzki and Luka Doncic -- and the Mavericks have confidence they will be able to keep Porzingis, league sources said. Knicks/Mavericks talks started picking up steam Wednesday night.

Mavs are including TWO future first-rounders in this trade. KP is signing that max contract this summer.

Luka is such a team player. He even was willing to have his worst game of the season to make DSJ look as good as possible against the Knicks to execute this trade.

Hardaway is trash....he is basically the SG version of Barnes, just worse. So he eats 18m in cap this summer and next summer.
Lee also eating 13 cap space, could not even dump Powell...

Not really a bad deal for NY tbh. They got rid of two bad contracts. A young pg (DSJ) with potential. And now have tons of cap space for free agents. Don't think of cap space in N.Y. being the same as cap space in Dallas. They should have much more success than us in getting guys to sign there. A blank slate for the new management.

I hope those two picks are heavily protected... that's actually a lot. Looking more like a win-win for both sides now. NYK has youth, tons of picks and two max slots. Dallas a playoff contender with a healthy KP.

But yeah, incoming euro superteam....Giannis joining in 2021.
And maybe we are trying to tank hard now to have solid chances to keep the 19er pick

Cost of doing business -- we now have a Luka/Porzingis core to unleash hell on the NBA.

Disagree, it's a terrible deal for NY. Losing Porzingis was the one thing they could not afford to do.
Jackson was alienating Porzingis, even before Jackson was axed.
Mills/Perry alienated his management (family).
Fizdale has been a knucklehead to all, and despite the pc lip service that Porzingis "liked" him, it was clear that Porzingis and his brother-agent had no confidence in any of the team management. Fizdale is being paid/directed to tank, but there are ways to do this without jerking players around. (Nobody wants to hear about that time you and Lebron won the championship in Miami.)
Pretty sure there will be another coach in NY withing the next 2 years, and Porzingis wanted no part of it.

Cap is severely overrated. It's potential-- potential that is rarely used unless you overpay. Striking out can also make you overpay anyway because of league minimum salary.
I like that we still have a max contract for a young guy (less than 6 years in the league) to offer. That gives me hope we can get another big fish or a few small fishes.

I haven’t read all of the posts here so excuse me if someone already mentioned this.
The Mavs now have 2 franchise players. With that in mind how crazy is it to think that the Mavs would have an outside chance at luring KD to Dallas? He’d fit perfect between Luka and KP. He would have a legit shot at a title. It would improve his reputation because he would be coming to a team that would be trying to beat LA and Golden State. He also likely still has a large fan base from his days in OKC.
I know it would be a huge long shot but I my opinion you have to at least pitch the offer to him.

We're gonna be better than we were, DSJ and Matthews tanked our starting lineup, they were the main reasons why it was literally the worst five-man unit in the NBA. I fully expect the team to make a run at the playoffs once Luka and the bench lineup meshes.

Jordan is a huge loss on the boards. Even if Porzingis comes back immediately and plays 40mpg, our frontcourt is going to be terrible rebounding. Barnes+ Porzingis is going to get outrebounded by 20 a game.
Honestly think that Brunson starting is a huge upgrade who can facilitate without dominating. Burke is going to be a sparkplug like Barea.
If we get some contributions from THJ or Lee, I will be surprised, but happy.
I still think that in my best case scenario, they go .500 the rest of the way and that is extra rosey.
Most likely Porzingis is held back for two weeks and comes back after the allstar break, and plays no more than 15-20mpg for the remainder of the season. We also have zero time to replace three starters with no training camp so I think it's going to look really rough. We have 31 games left-- 30 once the trade is complete. That's not a lot of time to get a team playing well.

I’m not too worried. Players come back from ACL injuries all the time. Plus we have the best trainer in the NBA in Casey Smith who has to give the OK after the physical. We just landed a top 20 player.
