So they target January 1st for KP to start "on court activity." Figure that gets pushed back and then his return is pushed back. So maybe he plays in February then misses 1 out of every 3 or 4 games. Then misses 3 weeks before coming back for the playoffs. Plays 2 games of their first round elimination. 35 games seems like a great ballpark guess. Put me down for under -- he plays 34.

Another win for the Dallas pick 
Also, I wish KP a smooth recovery. The big fella needs rest. Maybe after the All-Star break.

The porzingis contract will make the John Wall/Kemba Walker contracts look cheap

But the Knicks were the "losers" in the deal.

Dallas won the moment they intellectualized that Luka was the real deal. KP when healthy is a great talent.
Even here when he as top option and then Hardaway we had a peak into his talent.
But there is that other part.
Knicks lost the KP battle for sure. The war? That takes 5 years AFTER the trade to determine.
I like Cuban, he takes risks. They don’t always pan out but he goes for it.
When ever KP comes back and plays against the knicks at MSG, something im hoping to see is KP being dunked on by Frank, then by RJ, then by Mitch and finally by Ob1! That would be a fun game to see!
Monster game! If KP and Luka plays like this, no one will be able to stop them. Duo with 82 points and 13 threes...

Most if not all here knew they were capable of this type of performance. Its about KP handling the minutes. Going to have to play a lot more games to really answer that question. Happy for him though. Janis...
Porzingis is the best big man talent in the league aside from Anthony Davis and Embiid. Not many guys can space the floor like that, defend multiple spots and also create their own shot off the dribble or in the post. Dallas does not even use Porzingis like a top option, he is mainly used to stretch the floor for Luka. There were some games last season when Luka was out that they used Porzingis in that way and he killed it. His injuries will stop him from being a top 10 player in the league that can carry your team, but his talent is elite and very hard to find those skills at that position.

Yeah plus kp has always struggled with consistency...they’ve played some pretty terrible teams in the t wolves and pelicans... let’s see how they do vs Portland

He was doing it against the Clippers in the playoffs. The consistency is due to injuries. I agree, he can not keep up playing at that 25+ points a night level, but his career numbers are pretty much the same right now 18-20 points a night, 7-8 boards, 35% shooting beyond the arc, 2 blocks a game. He is what he is. What makes him valuable is that he can step up if you start to go to him more on offense, but the biggest value is the fact that he can play the 4 or 5 and actually defend it. The Mavericks team is real weak after Luka/Kris. They can't be anything until they get more talent around those 2.
Hahaha this thread is the microcosm of basketball fandom. Love you when you are here, hate you as an enemy, injured so trash, hot game so you are a world beater, cold streak so again trash.
I truly just care about the Mavs pick. I just hope they miss the playoffs. Sue me, I’m honest.

Have you watched his games or just that highlight video..... cause he’s been trash this season lol
Like legit he looks injured and spends most games jacking up 3’s which works against Steven Adams who is really uncomfortable guarding the perimeter.
The next 10 games (outside of the pistons and Orlando games) will actually give us a better feel for where that mavs pick will end up

Douchezingis had a good game last night and the Mavs won. I'm not happy about that simply because the Knicks benefit by Mavs being in lottery. A lot of games to be played but a KP/Mavs resurgence is not shocking. As stated, the question is for how long and where it takes them.
For me, I look at the trade as KP and Hardaway for Randle, Quickley and picks. I am real good with that.

No to kp as a top big not even close ... I’d take Randle over kp all day . Kp is pretty one dimensional to slow to guard the 4 to weak to guard the 5 injuries slowed his explosiveness. He’s pretty much trash on defense minus weak side blocking. Also at 7’3” 7 boards a game under 2 offense boards is weak.
When he hits his shots he’s worth having on the floor otherwise he’s a big liability.
