The Dallas Mavericks and New York Knicks have agreed to a trade involving Kristaps Porzingis.

The Knicks would receive Dennis Smith Jr., DeAndre Jordan, Wesley Matthews, and a first-round pick according to Mark Stein. 

The Mavs would also take on the contracts of Tim Hardaway Jr. and Courtney Lee.

The trade comes on the heels of a tense meeting between Porzingis and Knicks management this morning. 

The trade gives the Knicks enough salary cap space for two max contracts this summer.

Kristaps Porzingis expressed his concern over the state of the New York Knicks franchise in a meeting on Thursday. The building tension between both sides could lead the Knicks to pursue a trade before the deadline or over the summer, according to sources. 

Porzingis and his brother Janis, who's also his agent, met with the Knicks front office to discuss their frustration over the franchise's dysfunction, losing, and lack of a sustainable, long-term plan.

Porzingis can become a restricted free agent this summer. Multiple teams around the league have looked into acquiring the 23-year-old.

Porzingis, who is recovering from an ACL tear, recently had a 45-minute workout with a Knicks coach. Knicks medical staff confirmed that his knee is healing well. 

Enes Kanter kissed the New York Knicks logo at Madison Square Garden upon making his first in-game appearance in four games.

Kanter, who is in the final year of his deal, has been the frequent target of trade rumors this season.

"I just wanted to show my love. Obviously, on the court and off the court I've been having a very rough time the last three weeks with Turkey issues and basketball issues. The support that they are showing just meant a lot to me. I wanted to give back a little kiss to them," said Kanter.

Kanter was brought into the game in the 3rd quarter as fans chanted his name. He subsequently air-balled his first shot attempt. 

"If they know the love of New York I have in my heart, they would retire my jersey. I have no problem with this organization. I have no problem with these players, teammates, coaches or the city. From Day 1, I've loved the city," added Kanter.

Joakim Noah was sent home by the New York Knicks last Jan. 24 when he and Jeff Hornacek had an altercation at a Denver hotel.

Hornacek escalated the situation by shoving Noah.

“I got kicked off the team,” said Noah. “Obviously, you know the situation. It’s unfortunate.”

Noah calls the period a “dark time” in his life and accepting responsibility for “failing on the stage where I wanted to do well on.”

Two sources say the incident was related to Noah playing just four minutes in the previous night's loss by the Knicks to the Warriors.

“During my time in New York I had shoulder surgery on my left side before I signed my deal, then I had two surgeries that year,” Noah says. “And then I had the drug suspension. So I dealt with a lot of (crap). I had a lot of (crap) going on. It was not easy. I think these are all life lessons. It was a tough time for me mentally. Failing like that on a stage I really wanted to do well on. I take responsibility. It took me a while to digest that.”

The New York Knicks have made Tim Hardaway Jr. and Courtney Lee available in trade talks.

The Knicks would like to move both players for financial reasons as they attempt to maximize their cap space to pursue free agents such as Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Kemba Walker.

The Knicks may have to attach an asset to trade either Hardaway or Lee.

Hardaway is scheduled to earn $18.2 million next season while Lee will earn $12.8 million.

Enes Kanter is also on the trade block.

Enes Kanter expressed his frustration after receiving a DNP-CD in the New York Knicks' loss to the Houston Rockets. 

"I want to play basketball. We're all competitors. I want to play basketball. So just if you're going to play me here, play me. If not, then just get me out of here," said Kanter.

Kanter said that David Fizdale told him he would start following an injury to Luke Kornet before the coaching staff changed their mind. 

"My job right now is just cheer for my teammates and try to be a good teammate, [but] what they're doing to me is pretty messed up. I deserve way better," he said.

Kanter is currently in the final year of his contract. 

The Dallas Mavericks had trade talks with several teams last week on a Dennis Smith Jr. deal.

While the Orlando Magic have previously been mentioned as a team that discussed a Smith trade, talks were also held with the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers.

Smith has since returned to the Mavericks.

The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly interested in adding Noah Vonleh. 

The 23-year-old Vonleh is averaging 8.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game this season, both career-highs.

Vonleh signed a 1-year, $1.62 million deal with the Knicks last offseason.

A source refuted a report that the New York Knicks prefer Kristaps Porzingis to sit out the entire 18-19 season as he rehabs a torn ACL.

The Knicks reportedly want Porzingis back this season as long as he is mentally and physically ready to play. The Knicks are out of playoff contention.

Porzingis will be a restricted free agent this offseason.

Porzingis did not travel with the Knicks for their trip to London, which could be a sign they are focused on his return this season. Porzingis will be reevaluated in mid-February.

Turkey is seeking an international arrest warrant for Enes Kanter as they are accusing him of being a member of a terrorist organization.

Kanter has been outspoken against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Kanter didn't travel to London this week because feared he could be assassinated for his opposition.

Prosecutors are seeking an Interpol "Red Notice" citing Kanter's ties to Fethullah Gulen, who is blamed for a failed coup in 2016, and accusing him of providing financial support to his group.
