Kristaps Porzingis was supposed to be the cornerstone of the New York Knicks for years to come, but that might not be the organization’s long-term plans for the 21-year-old.
According to multiple reports, the Knicks are fielding calls from teams interested in acquiring the budding superstar who apparently has grown frustrated by the dysfunctional organization. Porzingis didn’t attend exit meetings with team president Phil Jackson and general manager Steve Mills in April, leading many to speculate about potential friction between the sharp-shooting big man and the Knicks front office.
Neither the Knicks’ front office nor head coach Jeff Hornacek has contacted Porzingis since the exit meetings, ESPN reported Tuesday.
