Mavs are in town tonight. KP admitted yesterday during an interview he asked to be traded. I know there's some back and forth on this board about he did/didn't want out. KP is soft.
Still, there had been some pushback about whether Porzingis actually requested a trade.
Today, Porzingis confirmed he did.
SNY:
•Reporter: “You had the trade request, right?”
•Porzingis: [nodding] “Yeah”

No Mitchell Robinson tonight. It's a shame, I wanted to see him D up against KP. Maybe Randle slides down to the 5.

From my view this guy looks like the type of professional that the Knicks have lacked for a very long time. He seems like a leader and a culture setter for a team in desperate need of it. That is very very valuable.
This is a young team that needs to learn how to approach practice and games. It’s far better to have RJ Barrett and Knox and Ntilikina seeing how Morris approaches his day to day job then it was when say Porzingis was looking at Carmelo Anthony.
I wouldn’t consider moving Marcus Morris right now.
