When the Dallas Mavericks acquired Kristaps Porzingis from the New York Knicks, many people thought they easily won the trade. New York had just surrendered their only NBA All-Star building block for Wesley Matthews, DeAndre Jordan, Dennis Smith Jr. and two future first round draft picks.

Fast forward to the present day and this trade is nowhere near as lopsided as people first imagined. New York is as well positioned as any team in the league to upgrade their roster thanks to ample cap space and extra picks courtesy of Dallas. The Mavericks, on the other hand, might already be looking to move on from Porzingis.

What Dallas imagined the pairing of Luka Doncic and Porzingis looking like has not yet come to fruition. He has continued to battle injuries and during the postseason against the LA Clippers he disappointed.

Porzingis has some shortcomings in his game, specifically his defense and ability to play in space. His contract will also be an obstacle to overcome as he is on the books through 2023 with a player option for the 2023-24 season.
