The brother of Kristaps Porzingis said he wants the New York Knicks to create an environment that fosters player development and winning.

Janis Porzingis is a certified agent who works for Andy Miller, agent of record for Porzingis.

"Kris wants to stay in New York; he feels at home there. There is no question about it. The only thing he wants is for the Knicks to create an environment where he can develop and grow as a player and win," Janis Porzingis said in an interview with ESPN. "If he were traded, he would play out his contract and head into free agency, where he can choose his own destiny."

The Knicks received interest from teams about a trade for Porzingis after he skipped their exit meetings. 

Porzingis said there was confusion from "top to bottom" due to multiple changes in schemes by Jeff Hornacek.
