The entire marketing of the franchise, or even just the fan experience (hip hop barbershop & all) made their reason for making such an absurd deal obvious.

I refuse to believe they're that overt they'd turn down a great deal because it gives them a white player better than Young, but fine change them with Cleveland, or Phoenix, or Orlando... point is I think the Knicks could have easily gotten a 2nd top 7-8 pick in this draft, or an unprotected 2020 pick from a team that looks a little worse than 2021 Dallas looks at this point.
If not, either they really love DSJ, really hate something they've seen in KP's rehab, or they made a rash decision without doing their due diligence because Porzingis is (rightfully) frustrated with the organization's continuing circus atmosphere. I don't know if they even could trade his restricted rights in June/July or if he'd have to agree to a sign & trade, but you think Dallas was pulling this offer and the chance at pairing Dirk 2.0 with Doncic in the next week before the deadline?
