First Take's Stephen A. Smith reacts to another strong performance from Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis and says he will be going to New York to show his support for him and the team.
Carmelo Anthony was at the Knicks practice facility, rehabbing from knee surgery, when a skinny teenager from Latvia arrived for a pre-draft workout. Anthony watched Kristaps Porzingis shoot, and turned to Steve Mills, the Knicks GM, with a question, Mills recalled in a chat with ESPN.com last week:
"Do you think we may draft this kid?"
The question could have implied a lot of things -- including the frustration a 31-year-old with aching knees might feel at the franchise, his franchise, banking his NBA twilight on an unknown not far removed from a regrettable cornrows phase.
