Kristaps Porzingis demanded a trade, and the Knicks obliged by sending him to Dallas. At least that’s what New York’s GM Steve Mills said during his on-air interview with MSG’s Rebecca Haarlow during Sunday’s game against Memphis, just days after the deal with the Mavericks. But Porzingis posted on Instagram that there’s more to it than that, that the truth will eventually come to the light. What we know for sure is there was a rift between star player and his front office. Who’s right and who’s wrong? Let’s figure out what exactly was said first.
