Has to have something to do with the DPE now that he made the All NBA Team. Westbrook is eligible for a similar but even richer deal this summer as well.

My whole off season expectations have now changed. Still don't care about Chris Paul it isn't happening but one of Simmons and Mills if not both are staying now.

Simmons or Mills if you could only keep one?

Simmons. I'm all for throwing Dejounte out there full time starting next season.

...And when the owner was asked about the possibility of Kristaps being traded, Jim Dolan simply said "ask Phil." That's good enough for me.

New York Knicks president Phil Jackson is weighing the possibility of trading Kristaps Porzingis, an idea that’s inspired a frenzy of suitors across the NBA, league sources told The Vertical.

To that possibility, Jackson had a dinner meeting with Arizona forward Lauri Markkanen on Monday night in New York, league sources told The Vertical. Jackson considers Markkanen, a 7-foot jump-shooting forward, a replacement for Porzingis and is considering selecting him with the team’s No. 8 overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft.

The Knicks are poised to begin listening to rival teams’ pitches on potential Porzingis deals, league sources said.

Around the NBA, the possibility of Jackson trading Porzingis, a uniquely talented and wildly popular 7-foot-3 player, has been met with bewilderment by rival executives eager to make a deal with New York. Since Porzingis – frustrated with the level of dysfunction within the franchise – skipped his season-ending exit meeting, the Knicks haven’t made an attempt to reach or visit him in Europe this summer, league sources told The Vertical.

Porzingis remains determined to play for the Knicks and see his tenure through to success, sources said, but it has become clearer that Jackson has become increasingly intrigued with testing the trade market for Porzingis. The Knicks haven’t been engaging with teams on Porzingis, but that possibility is becoming more intriguing to Jackson between now and Thursday’s draft, league sources said.

New York is determined to acquire a frontline guard, something that a trade for Porzingis could gain for them. Nevertheless, there’s tremendous backlash among Knicks fans over the possibility of trading such a gifted and popular young player, and it’s unclear how that will impact ownership or Jackson’s plans on the matter.

Porzingis, 21, was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft. He’s averaged 16.1 points and 7.3 rebounds in his two seasons with the Knicks.​

It's not about team loyalty, ain't no loyalty in this.

It's about the New CBA, which rewards incumbent teams for keeping their players and rewards players for staying home.

Phoenix always trying to offer some ish in Every deal.

Tired of them. I do not want to see any good player on phoenix

Nasir has been doing the lords work for 20 + years and he's passing the torch to young David. But what is Mr. East supposed to rap about if Courtney Lee and Cesar are the best players in the city?
