Dallas Mavericks Receive: Nikola Jokic
Denver Nuggets Receive: Kristaps Porzingis, 2022 1st Round Pick, 2024 1st Round Pick
This would make both the Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets even more interesting to watch come the regular season. In this trade, Kristaps Porzingis would be sent to Denver and Jokic would team up with Doncic in Dallas.
The kicker in this deal is that the Nuggets would also receive two first-round picks from the Mavericks. They were already forced to part ways with picks to acquire Porzingis. Would Dallas do it again for Jokic? Also, how does Denver value Jokic and would two first-rounders be enough?
There is a lot to dive into in regards to this deal. Let’s take a look at how this one would benefit each side in the 2020-2021 season.
