Of course you do. Even if you take back Noah.

I'd try really hard to make that bender instead of Chriss, maybe throw a Miami pick in there. But if it came down to it and NY insisted on Chriss, you've got to do it

I would rather part with a Miami pick than Chriss, too.

This guy has been tweeting quite a few things this morning about us. Take it with a grain of salt.

If true though you pull that trigger.

I'd be fine with dropping Chriss with KP coming back. I value the Miami pick more in that scenario.

That Miami pick isn't going to be that good. Probably 15-20. I think they sign a big name and make the playoffs next year. I'd much rather have Chriss.

Historically speaking, we tend to regret trading away picks, but if it's Zinger, I don't think I could say no.

Is there any way we could pick up #8 in the deal? What would we have to add?

Draft Markkanen for the Latvian-Finnish-Ukrainian frontline with a Croatian off the bench. I bet they'd have some interesting political discussions.

I'm still not super high on Chriss. Even if he has a high ceiling, how does he get there with Porzingis on the roster? Does Chriss become a 5 and become a Tristan Thompson-like player for us? I just don't know how he fits. I would rather have the felxability of the future pick, and the year to see what we have on the roster before making the pick.

Me too but I wouldn't let that hold up the deal.

I would love to grab the 8th from the Knicks but it's prob wishful thinking.

If we got Porzingis I would be beyond stoked! It would be so much fun to watch him with Booker.

Yea I'd go crazy if we got him. Concerned about our PG situation if we don't get a pick back, but damn. Porzingis is a beast.

Contrary to some reports there is nothing close with the Suns and Knicks on a deal for Porzingis at this point.

Is this just more fluff?

Never mind the article is just quoting that other guy from Chicago.

I think KP is definitely a 5, Chriss stays at the 4
