The Kristaps Porzingis Era is Here

With the trade of Melo to OKC, the Knicks have fully commited to a KP era. And this will be a breath of fresh air at the Garden.  Not only is KP the best player on the team, who still has massive upside, but he is coachable.  That fact alone will make anyone who wants to stay a Knick, coachable. That wasn't the case when it was Melo's or Starbury's team.  Last year, when Kristaps tried to take more leadership and spoke up for the Triangle, Melo dressed him down.   That's no way to lead. It's also good that Willy Hernangomez will be his sergeant at arms, and Jarret Jack will be his locker room consigliere.

I think both Courtney Lee and KOQ could still be on the move in the next few days, so we could get a better look at what KP''s first team will look like when that dust clears.
