You’re preaching to the choir on Porzingis. As you know, I would’ve traded him a long time ago. The thing is, the Mavericks didn’t trade him, and there is no reason to think they are about to trade him this week. If he’s here, you kind of owe it to the team to try to make the rotation makes sense with him.
I know we all agree that the team isn’t quite to contender level yet, and I know there are some here who want to throw any chance of being competitive (to the extent they can) out the window in the name of reaching for that contender status, but I just don’t think it really works that way. I think you keep trying to get better, but you simultaneously have to give this group a chance to reach their full potential. In other words, if KP is here, you have to plan for that, at least a little bit. I might feel differently if these past 20 games had not happened and the team was at the play-in range or something.
