“We’ve been getting calls. We’re listening, but we’re not intrigued at this level. But as much as we love this guy, we have to do what’s good for our club.
”Jackson went on to explain that he was stunned by Porzingis’s decision to skip the team’s exit meeting at the end of the season.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had a player over 25 years of coaching, maybe 30, not coming to an exit meeting,” he said, adding that he “had a good relationship with Kristaps over the last two years so it was kind of surprising.”
Joel Embiid used Jackson’s comments to recruit Porzingis to come play for the Sixers with this incredible tweet.
