Kristaps Porzingis sounds fed up with Phil Jackson, Knicks dysfunction

Porzingis passed on the exit interviews, as ESPN's Ian Begley first reported, and league sources say Porzingis is planning a long trip back to Latvia that may not include a return to New York until closer to the start of training camp.

Porzingis isn't alone. Players are privately fuming that they want no part of the organization's summer slate of triangle offense regimen at the team's suburban New York practice facility, league sources told The Vertical. In reality, there's an open rebellion to the triangle - for the offense itself, and by extension, the discord and dysfunction that its implementation has burdened upon everyone.

The details paint a murky future. Porzingis has been studying how well-run, cohesive NBA organizations work.

Porzingis has educated himself on how successful NBA organizations are run and knows now that the Knicks - from ownership to management to coaching - are nowhere near delivering him the platform to develop into the cornerstone of a winning team.

It is possible that Porzingis will connect with Jackson before he departs for the summer, but he appears in no rush. Porzingis has been a dutiful teammate and employee for two seasons, but the franchise's most important player since Patrick Ewing is preparing for his third NBA season across the world - far from Phil Jackson, the triangle and the chaos of the Knicks organization.

For now, Porzingis' message appears to be unmistakable for New York's lost cause of an organization: You're on the clock with me, too.

He skipped team interviews. Maybe he's just fed up with the NYC media or NYC in general? They NYC media doesn't try to stir up drama do they?

Yet he's leaving for the entire summer... All because of Phil Jackson.

Next week he talks to the media in his home town of Liepaja, as he will play for Latvia at FIBA EuroBasket.
Advancing Latvian basketball is way up on his list of life long goals.

Let's see what he tells him hometown media. Can't blame him for going home and he's done well in NYC on the court and dealing with the media off the court.
