Source: Knicks Questioned for Porzingis Move, Rival Teams 'Shocked' Young Forward Was Available

Teams around the NBA were "shocked" to learn Kristaps Porzingis was available on the trade market following the Knicks' deal with the Mavericks on Thursday, according to Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix. New York reportedly failed to seek out other offers for Porzingis, per Mannix.

Porzingis fallout: Some bewilderment coming from several teams who were shocked Porzingis was available. Becoming very clear the Knicks did little in the way of league-wide canvassing for offers before moving KP to Dallas.

Mavs deal could ultimately end up being a good deal -- a great one, if free agency breaks the Knicks way and those draft picks prove useful.
