Report: Knicks not ruling out trading Kristaps Porzingis

Published Jun. 30, 2017 6:28 p.m. ET

Knicks president Phil Jackson is not ruling out the possibility of trading Kristaps Porzingis, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.

A “frenzy of interest” in Porzingis has emerged, according to Wojnarowski, as other teams become aware of Jackson's stance on the matter.

Porzingis, 21, is one of the more promising young big men in the league and is seen as the Knicks' most valuable long-term asset. This news comes two days before the NBA draft, in which the Knicks hold the eighth pick in the first round.

New York could conceivably garner a major return for Porzingis. The status of the team and Carmelo Anthony is also unclear given Jackson's public comments in the past, but Anthony has a full no-trade clause.
