Charley Rosen on Kristaps Porzingis: His general attitude is the most troubling

Charley Rosen, the NBA reporter with the closest relationship to Phil Jackson, wrote a piece about Kristaps Porzingis on Fan Rags Sports.

The Knicks are open to trading Porzingis if they can get the right offer.

"Just as Phil Jackson feared right after Porzingis was drafted, players that tall and that lanky are extremely susceptible to injuries," writes Rosen. "Indeed, he has missed 26 games in his first two seasons, the most potentially serious being an Achilles tendon strain last season."

"But his general attitude is the most troubling.

"KP and his brother have often complained about how poorly the Knicks treat their players. This undoubtedly has to do with the negative relationship that exists between Jackson and Carmelo Anthony. For sure, Melo’s in-house dissatisfactions have unduly influenced Porzingis.

"Which is unquestionably why KP blew off the exit interview with Jackson and left for home without saying goodbye."
