As if the Kristaps Porzingis drama was ever set to end. Per ESPN’s Zach Lowe, the New York Knicks shopped a deal around Porzingis to the Sacramento Kings around the 2018 NBA Draft. The return was De’Aaron Fox, and the Kings either needed to attach something with him or take an unwanted salary with the 7-foot-3 Latvian.
Porzingis was eventually moved to the Dallas Mavericks before the 2019 NBA Trade Deadline, with Trey Burke, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Courtney Lee, for Dennis Smith Jr.
