Wow. Amazing how fast his stock fell after that knee injury.

Will Doncic + Porzingis be the greatest Euro duo of all time?

I want to see how Porzingis plays in Dallas. Also how Jordan plays in New York. That trade put KD and Kyrie in the mix. New York has 70 million in cap space.

It's hard to project Porzingus, at 7'3" and injured over half his current NBA career, he could just as easily be as injury prone as Yao Ming or Greg Oden.

Does anyone else feel like it's kind of fitting that Dallas got Porzingis to replace Dirk? Completely different playing style obviously but they're both non-traditional seven footers.

Porzingis has yet to say he wants to stay in Dallas. He is set to be a restricted free agent so Dallas will be able to match any offer, which for a player of his potential, I assume. they would. Do you think Porzingis would be willing to turn down all RFA offers and take the QO to reach unrestricted free agency?

With his injury history, I think he's just going to try to get the biggest contract he can.
