Luka Doncic dropped a far-off bombshell on the Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA recently, sharing his interest in joining another team before he retires. Could that inspire teams like the New York Knicks to pitch their former players on a return -- including one Kristaps Porzingis?
The ending of the relationship between Kristaps Porzingis and the New York Knicks was not pretty. Porzingis was the centerpiece star of yet another Knicks rebuild, their first top-10 pick since Jordan Hill in 2009 (Stephen Curry went one pick before the Knicks - it still hurts). Given that their next two such picks would yield Frank Ntilikina and Kevin Knox, nailing the Porzingis pick meant a lot.
