Does this trade make sense for the Dallas Mavericks?

Even though his value has taken a slight dip in recent years, am I crazy for thinking that the Mavericks can get more than this for Kristaps Porzingis?

Porzingis isn’t enough to complete a deal for Ingram or Ball — unless a third team gets involved — but he can get slightly more than Eric Bledsoe and Steven Adams.

Whenever the Mavericks are prepared to move on from Porzingis, they’ll likely take either the best offer or an offer that gives them a long-term piece for the franchise.

Neither Bledsoe nor Adams can be considered long-term assets for Dallas, making it tough to envision them going through with this trade.

The Mavericks want to improve their outside shooting around Doncic, but Bledsoe and Adams worsen it. When it’s all said and done, I don’t believe the Mavericks and Pelicans will be conducting business centered around Porzingis this offseason due to a variety of reasons.
