All that beanpole does is shoot 3's, and he's not even that great at it. He's a 36% 3 point shooter. He's a horrible perimeter defender, even for a big man, and he can't guard the bigger 5's in the league. He's basically a 7'3" SF that can't play defense.

For Adams and Bledsoe.

Yeah basically two bad contracts with no upside for one with some upside. Whether he'd stay healthy or accept being the 3rd banana in a small market is a big question.

NO.
I'm not dumping those two for an extremely overpaid 5 that can't play the 5, is an average 3 point shooter, and spends a good quarter of the season in street clothes.
We've got assets coming out of our asses right now. WHy on earth would you settle for Porzingis. He hinders you getting other big money players, and if you didn't watch their 1st round exit, he played like arse, 13ppg, 5rpg, 30% from 3.

Explain to me where you expect him to play? what kind of lineup are you looking at? Are you sitting Jaxson? If so, are you expecting Porzingis to protect the rim and gaurd 5's, b/c that's not what he does. If you look at the 2 man NET +/- from the Mavs, the best by a good bit for Porzingis was with Kleber.
The only 2 man NET Luka had that was worst than with Porzingis was with James Johnson.

He's simply no where near good enough to warrant him making that much money on our team, and he's a terrible fit next to Zion, b/c they play the same position.
