The Sacramento Kings and Dallas Mavericks could embark on a trade that could see some great talent being sent out to both squads, and it could make a lot of sense. Both teams have underachieving players who are signed to big deals in Kristaps Porzingis and Buddy Hield. Could that result in a potential trade in the NBA offseason?

Dallas is coming off a first-round playoff series against the LA Clippers that ended in a Game 7 loss.
