Report: Knicks TRADE Kristaps Porzingis to Dallas Mavericks!

If Kristaps Porzingis is able to stay healthy, the New York Knicks won’t be reaping that reward.

Instead, the seven footer is off to Big D, in a stunning swirl of events on Thursday afternoon.

New York has agreed with Dallas on trade that includes Kristaps Porzingis, Courtney Lee, Tim Hardaway Jr., for Wesley Matthews, Dennis Smith Jr. and DeAndre Jordan, league sources tell ESPN. Players and agents are being notified of particulars. Deal may include more draft assets.

This comes after a report just an hour earlier from Woj that said that Porzingis met with the Knicks and expressed frustration with the direction of the franchise.

Kristaps Porzingis left the Knicks with the impression that he prefers to be traded, league sources tell @ramonashelburne and me. Knicks are expected to commence discussions on moving him ahead of next Thursday’s deadline.
