Not speaking about sometimes Luka obliterating players in the clutch.
Oh and I don´t say there is no chance to improve us by trading KP at all - it´s just such a minor chance I´m surprised how hellbent some people are to trade him.
He has a contract until 2024. Let me repeat this 2024.
We are one major injury away from him reaching John Wall/Blake Griffin territory. He doesn´t perform to the standards of a 2nd option. He can´t stay healthy, while playing just 57% of NBA games.
The reason you are all afraid to trade Porzingis (despite always putting on a brave face) is that you secretly all agree that our front office is sh*t and the capspace would amount to nothing, as usual.
I´d gladly make the radicial choice and trade Porzingis into Hornets capspace, if nothing better becomes available. They can pick for us at #15 and at the start of free agency we make the deal:
Porzingis for #15 (Sengun or Jackson) and a lottery protected 2022.
If Porzingis is gone, you can sell John Collins on his desired larger role, too. If the Hawks need an incentive to not match use the 2022 Charlotte pick. You get Richaun Holmes to bring the defense, while you build up Sengun/Jackson. Then you go to work on Lavine.
