Atlanta Hawks Receive: Kristaps Porzingis, Willie Cauley-Stein

Dallas Mavericks Receive: John Collins, Clint Capela, Tony Snell

Luka Doncic was originally selected with the No. 3 overall pick in 2018 by the Atlanta Hawks. He was quickly sent to the Dallas Mavericks and Trae Young landed in Atlanta. Now, both teams could benefit from linking together on a potential trade scenario.

Here, Kristaps Porzingis would be given the chance to play with both in his career. He and Willie Cauley-Stein would be going to Atlanta to shore up the frontcourt while also providing more opportunity for Onyeka Okongwu to get meaningful minutes.

The Mavericks would get rid of an enormous contract and land Luka Doncic another partner in John Collins. Clint Capela and Tony Snell would also go to the Mavericks in hopes of turning the season around. Perhaps reconfiguring things could help give Dallas a spark.

Let’s take a look at how this NBA trade deadline scenario centered around Kristaps Porzingis would benefit both the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks.
