IT, Brown, Hayward, Isaac, and Horford.
I'd rather have: IT, Brown, Hayward, Porzingis, Horford!
I can't stand Porzingis.
The Knicks are trading him because he isn't that good.

Not that good?
I'm not the hugest fan of his particular play style personally, but you can't deny that the kid has talent. It's rare to see a 21 year old put up numbers like this, especially when playing on a team that has "ball dominant" guys like Derek Rose and Carmelo Anthony.
Factor in that he's only making $4.5 million a year and you'd have to be mad not to want him. If this kid ever finds a way to add a bit of bulk, he'd be [dang] near unstoppable.
Also I don't get the argument some other's have made of "if he was 4 inches shorter..." - the fact is that he isn't 4 inches shorter. He's 7'3". That's a big part of why he's such a special player and why his upside is so high. He's a 7'3" guy who can shoot threes consistently, and that's scary as hell, because with a standing reach of around 9' 6" there
ain't nobody blocking that shot.
