WFAN: Why Knicks Future Looks Brighter After Trading Porzingis (2/2/19)

WFAN: Why Knicks Future Looks Brighter After Trading Porzingis (2/2/19)

The Knicks shocked a lot of people when they abruptly traded Kristaps Porzingis to the Dallas Mavericks along with Courtney Lee, Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. In return, they got Dennis Smith Jr., the expiring contracts of DeAndre Jordan and Wesley Matthews, along with two future first-round draft picks. At first, Knicks fans were furious.

As more info came out that Porzingis didn’t wanna be with the Knicks in the future…mixed in with a senseless tweet of a GIF dapping up Luka Doncic, the fan base took a turn on the deal. They also realized that it gives them the opportunity now to sign two max free agents this summer. I explained in my column why the trade actually sets the Knicks up for a hopeful future…if they can make a few splashes in the summer.

The Brooklyn Nets are the hottest team in the NBA since early December…and not enough people are showing them love. Kenny Atkinson has made a team that won 28 games all of last season reach that total before February as they are the 6th seed in the Eastern Conference right now. I wrote a column for WFAN breaking down how impressive the Nets have been, especially with all the injuries they have fought through.

On Episode 6 of Bawls Deep with me and Constantine Maroulis, we are joined by former two-time Giants Super Bowl champion kicker Lawrence Tynes on the first half of the show. The former Chiefs and Giants kicker talks about his career, sending Big Blue to the Super Bowl, how cold it was in Green Bay that night, Cody Parkey’s missed kick for the Bears and texting with him after it happened, special teams, previewing the AFC and NFC Championship, him seeing Connie in Rock of Ages, and much more.

In the second half of the podcast, we open by singing “Gase’s Eyes,” a remix to the Hall & Oates classic, “Private Eyes.” I wrote it about new Jets head coach Adam Gase and his crazy eyes, and Connie joins me for a fun duet. We also talk about the hire, the Jets & Giants offseason ahead, our predictions for the NFL Championship Sunday games, the Yankees offseason, I go off on the MTV True Life shows, Connie gives out his Netflix picks for the week, and then we debut “Karaoke Connie” as my co-host sings “Shallow” from A Star is Born.
