NY Knicks News:
It doesn’t seem Kristaps Porzingis is holding a Marc Gasol grudge.
In breaking his silence since the Knicks hired David Fizdale, Kristaps Porzingis on Thursday tweeted from Europe that he’s finally spoken to the new coach — and had positive reviews.
“Just had a great conversation on the phone with Coach Fiz. Man im excited!!!!! Lets gooo!!!” Kristaps Porzingis tweeted.
Of course, when Kristaps Porzingis will be able to go is uncertain because of his rehab following surgery for an ACL tear, but his relationship with David Fizdale will be vital and under the microscope.
Kristaps Porzingis’ failure to acknowledge David Fizdale’s hiring via social media appeared a troubling sign, but no longer. Fizdale was fired last November after a feud with another All-Star European in Gasol, who is from Spain. Fizdale reportedly diminished Gasol’s European accomplishments.
Kristaps Porzingis, as first reported by The Post, is doing a large part of his ACL rehab in Spain using the facilities of soccer’s Real Madrid team along with his own people. Kristaps Porzingis, who played basketball in the Spanish League, is also best friends with Willy Hernangomez, who is close to the Gasol brothers.
Kristaps Porzingis has seemed on the fence about the Knicks’ vision ever since Jeff Hornacek became head coach. Multiple sources indicate they weren’t close, and The Post reported Porzingis once used the F-word against Hornacek during a practice.
Knicks Draft News: The New York Knicks have recently been linked to Trae Young as well as Mikal Bridges. But another name to consider is Miami’s Lonnie Walker. “[He] is a sleeper pick for the Knicks. I’ve talked to somebody around his camp who said the Knicks have been interested in him and reached out.”
Wasserman compared him to Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown, who was drafted No. 3 overall in the 2016 NBA Draft. He applauded Walker for his explosiveness and how well he passes the “eye test” when watching him play.
A person familiar with the situation confirmed that the Knicks are “very interested” in Walker. The organization will try to bring in the former Miami guard for one of their team workouts as the draft date grows nearer. The person requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the matter.

The New York Knicks will select the best player available at the 2018 NBA Draft, but it’s reportedly unlikely that Scott Perry would actually take a guard.
The New York Knicks have crafted a vision for the future that’s centered around developing up-and-coming talent. Rather than going for the immediate splash, the Knicks are working through the 2018 NBA Draft to build a resurgent contender.
In order to fulfill that vision, New York is planning to select the best player available this coming June—a truth that appears to come with restrictions.
That doesn’t necessarily prove anything, but it’s hard to believe Fizdale would bring three of his guards to a playoff game without believing in their respective futures.
It’s plausible that Perry will determine that Sexton, Young, or another guard have a higher ceiling than the incumbents. The general manager himself has stated that it’s yet to transpire, however, which could be indicative of the current vision.
With wings such as Mikal Bridges, Miles Bridges, and Kevin Knox expected to be available, and a center such as Wendell Carter Jr. likely to be on the board, there will be other options.
Unless the New York Knicks are truly blown away by a guard, it will be a wing or a big who comes off the board at No. 9 overall in the 2018 NBA Draft. (via Daily Knicks)
