Yeah I can think for myself. Thank you.
If Porzingis re-injured his knee, he would have gotten a Cousins-like contract offer. He´d have lost $80M+.
Therefore his threat to sign the QO was not believable, so was his whole trade demand. He had no leverage at all. Simple as that.
If the Knicks wanted to keep Porzingis and were comfortable with a max offer, they´d have done it, whether he throws a hissy-fit or not.
That´s what matters, when assessing the trade decision from the Knicks side.
But yeah call me shocked that the Knicks didn´t run with: Hey you want Porzingis, there is no way in hell, we re-sign him, cause we believe his body is kept together by duct tape.
I´m positive Porzingis did ask out, but the Knicks were very comfortable to accomodate him.
