New York Knicks: Trading Dennis Smith Jr. is admitting failure

Sure, Dennis Smith Jr. isn’t playing well this season. Chalk it up to injuries, lack of minutes, or just the lack of ability to step up. Bottom line is that if the New York Knicks trade Smith at the February 6th deadline, it would see out the last player that New York received from the Kristaps Porzingis deal.

The Porzingis situation was a little murky, to begin with. Getting booed when he was drafted fourth overall in 2015 to basically forcing his way off the team. It was never a paradise matchup for either party involved.
