The Cleveland Cavaliers have been trying to land a young star in trade talks for Kyrie Irving. On the short list of stars they want is the Unicorn himself, Kristaps Porzingis.
According to ESPN, that would only take place if the Cavs were willing to also eat Joakim Noah's terrible contract.
Porzingis has emerged as a primary Cleveland target, but that's a conversation that can occur only with Cleveland's willingness to unburden the Knicks of the three years and $55 million left on Joakim Noah's contract. For now, the conversation is a nonstarter for the Knicks, league sources said.
If only Kyrie had made his desire to be traded known before Phil Jackson was kicked out of New York. He probably would have done a straight up deal Irving for Porzingis.
