Anthony Davis is currently an undisputed franchise cornerstone, and acquiring him would appear to undoubtedly improve the New York Knicks roster. New York has been rumored to be “aggressively” pursuing the Pelicans star, and many mock trades have been debated throughout NBA Twitter.
The one constant between the speculative deals of both excited fans and NBA insiders is that Kristaps Porzingis would need to be included to get a deal done. Despite the obvious upside of bringing Davis to New York, giving up Porzingis would be an unforgivable mistake.
The Knicks have been defined by their inability to wait, and their lack of patience has been enough to include them as potential suitors for many reportedly available players in recent seasons.
