Porzingis also liked Carmelo Anthony's Instagram post against Jackson
Kristaps Porzingis liked Carmelo Anthony’s status on Instagram against Phil Jackson and skipped exit meetings with Knicks management.
Per ESPN, Porzingis, according to team sources, is frustrated with the Knicks' lack of direction. The team missed out on the playoffs for the fourth straight season.
Jackson was asked Friday whether any personnel move, including those involving a trade of Porzingis, is "off the table" this offseason.
Jackson was asked whether he thought Porzingis was ready for that kind of responsibility.
"No, I don't [think he's ready]. He's 21 years old. That's a big load for anybody to take on," Jackson said. "But he's shown that he's competitive. He's shown that he's competitive, he's shown that he's got a sense of desire to win, etc. So we're really pleased with how he's developed. I think he had some concern this year about physicality, not being able to stand up to all the games physically with his Achilles tendon, back, etc."
