Kristaps Porzingis Trade Rumors: Knicks Reportedly Not Actively Shopping Star

As the New York Knicks continue to figure out how to build their roster, shopping Kristaps Porzingis reportedly isn't something they are doing.

B/R's Howard Beck reported that while the Knicks have taken calls on Porzingis, they "aren't shopping him" and to "disregard" talk the 21-year-old will be dealt.

This comes on the heels of Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reporting earlier Tuesday that NBA teams were aware Knicks president Phil Jackson didn't rule out the possibility of dealing Porzingis. 

The Latvian star has had a tumultuous relationship with the Knicks since the season ended. ESPN's Ian Begley reported on April 15 that Porzingis skipped his exit meeting with team management due to growing frustration with the "dysfunction and drama surrounding the organization."

Porzingis, who was drafted fourth overall by the Knicks in 2015, averaged 18.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 66 games last season.
