The most important attribute in the NBA is availability. Former Dallas Mavericks star Kristaps Porzingis did not have that. His partnership with Luka Doncic was supposed to form one of the league’s top duos, but it never quite panned out. For that reason, Dallas traded Porzingis to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans. At first, the trade […] READ MORE

The Dallas Mavericks and Washington Wizards made sure the James Harden deal wasn’t the only blockbuster of the NBA trade deadline. Dallas sent over Kristaps Porzingis and a protected second-round pick to Washington in return for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans.

The Dallas Mavericks have been rolling to start 2022. With that being said, there are still some improvements that can be made.
