Now Porzingis can fire back after Knicks president shrugs off blame

The Mavericks will introduce Monday their new franchise gem, Kristaps Porzingis, who didn’t want anything to do with New York any longer — as his Sunday morning Instagram post suggested.

Whether Porzingis made an exact trade demand, only he can confirm Monday in what figures to be a jovial affair at American Airlines Center in Dallas.

On the contrary, it was a sad Super Bowl Sunday at the Garden for the Knicks. The three new additions — Dennis Smith Jr., DeAndre Jordan and Wesley Matthews — were introduced after modest debuts at a no-frills press conference conspicuously devoid of smiles.
