Why This Trade Would Benefit The Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks entered the season with hopes of building off any kind of momentum they were able to gain in the NBA Bubble. That has not been the case early on and that could lead to some changes to the lineup.
Kristaps Porzingis has had his fair share of injuries since joining the Mavericks. This is something that could frustrate the front office and persuade them to use his value in a trade.
If they were to make this one, they would get back a replacement big in Lauri Marklanen. He has a similar skill-set to Porzingis in the way they can both dominate down low or step out and shoot from deep.
