A lot of people are talking about Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose leaving, but very few considered the fact that the 7-foot-3 sophomore Kristaps Porzingis might be on his way out of New York as well.
Porzingis will be a restricted free agent in the 2019–20 offseason. There have been rumors that Porzingis will consider leaving New York when he becomes a restricted free agent.
If the Knicks move Carmelo Anthony, the club will build in earnest around Porzingis. The Knicks are encouraged by other young pieces on the roster such as (Willy) Hernangomez, Justin Holiday, Mindaugas Kuzminskas, Ron Baker and Chasson Randle.
