Dallas Mavericks Receive: Kristaps Porzingis, Dorian Finney-Smith

Indiana Pacers Receive: Myles Turner, Jeremy Lamb, Doug McDermott, 2022 1st Round Pick, 2024 1st Round Pick 

Kristaps Porzingis and Dorian Finney-Smith are two players that would be going to Indiana. This would improve the Pacers right away as they get two names ready to contribute right away when healthy. This is something that has halted Porzingis is production in the past.

Myles Turner will be the centerpiece of the haul going back to Dallas. He has emerged as one of the NBA’s top interior defenders while having the foot speed to provide versatility out in space. Meanwhile, he has a stretch-five skill-set offensively.

Jeremy Lamb and Doug McDermott would also have a chance to come off the bench for the Mavericks. Dallas require two first-round picks in exchange for this deal which would make up for what they gave up for Kristaps Porzingis in the first place.

Let’s take a look and see how this trade centered around Kristaps Porzingis would benefit both the Dallas Mavericks and Indiana Pacers.
