> Kristaps Porzingis has looked like the unicorn from his All-Star campaign five seasons ago and now leads the Wizards in points (22.4), rebounds (8.9), and blocks (1.5). It couldn’t have come at a better time for the 7-foot-3 Latvian.
> Two NBA executives who spoke with HoopsHype believe Porzingis could opt out of his $36 million player option and enter free agency with the potential to secure a new long-term contract from Washington or another team along the lines of three years, $90 million or four years, $120 million given his current health and play this season.
> With the potential for Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma to both enter the market as unrestricted free agents this summer by declining their player options, Washington must decide if the Wizards can become a playoff contender as one of only three teams with three 20-point scorers or change course.
> Despite a 10-game losing streak that was just snapped, including the absence of Bradley Beal for six games, the Wizards believe their roster is more talented than the record currently indicates and want to be fully healthy for a stretch before making any roster changes.
Thoughts? What teams would be willing to give KP a $120m contract?

If he stays healthy all year he would definitely be able to make that much. His skillset is too unique
I swear to god if the Wizards double down on this roster lmao
This will be a highway robbery
Yeah good luck to the team that gives him 3 or 4 years lol.
oh my god trade beal trade everyone oh my god what the fuck are the wizards doing
Even though he’s trying to get more money while he opts out he’s still fuckin missing games. Teams are never done fuckin themselves with these big flimsy cunts.
Pacers would be cool
Porzingus thinks he can pull $30 mil/year? Sorry but there is no way he is worth that. Maybe when people still didn’t know what his ceiling was, but now I would put him more in the $20 – $25 mil/yr range
Kirstaps Porzingis hasn’t played **at least 58 games since 2017**
Paying him would be one of the dumbest moves ever. I know the Wizards are a bad front office but cmon.
Players tend to get it together when a new contract is on the line. Then he gets paid and it’s nothing but disappointment
If porzingis gets over 30m/year I’ll eat the one chip challenge
My guy saw what Beal got and wants in on the action.
that would be wild if he got that
I know I’m in the minority, but I think KP is worth it at $30m (especially on a 3 year deal).
Injury history is a gamble, but when he is healthy, he is still a big difference maker on both ends.
Porzingis for Gary and Salary lol
I feel like we have enough data to know that no one’s opinion on good/bad contracts should be taken seriously on this sub.
Lmao good luck to whoever pays him that money.
Do we not remember last summer? Are we really expecting the cap next summer to rise that much?
Time to get Luka a 2nd star!
Whoever pays him is gonna be a sucker
Will some other dumb team take the bait and tie themselves to a walking injury?
Smart move, secure the bag before you get hurt again
Five seasons ago! That’s crazy.
He’s not worth more than $20 million a year.
People call AD street clothes, but compared to Porzingis he lives in his uniform. Whoever gives this dude 30 million a season deserves to be fired and berated.
Can’t KP just be given a deal that depends on games played. Didn’t embiid and Zion get this sort of thing.
KP and Kuzma to the Lakers for Westbrook, the ’27, and ’29 picks let’s gooooo
Why would be out out to take less money?
Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
$30M for KP? I like him at 20-25. He was worth it when he got paid but he can’t stay healthy or make a winning impact
HAHAH really. I don’t think any team wants him for that.
so wizards gonna have 2 of the worst contracts in the league next year?
is that the lakers music i hear?
Tbh this would be the smart thing to do. Some team may take the bait as the guy has upside, for him as injury prone as he is a longer deal would be a bliss
We’ve got our guy 🙏🙌🏻
Id stay put haha
Lmao KP will get PAID and then barely play again. Dude is soft and always hurt. Can’t blame him, but for the love of god don’t pay him crazy money
sometimes instead of swearing i say kristaps porzingis
Mavs fan here… Please come back baby, we miss you.
