Washington Wizards Receive: C Kristaps Porzingis, G Trey Burke
Dallas Mavericks Receive: F Kyle Kuzma, G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, C Montrezl Harrell, 2022 First Round Pick Swap
Kristaps Porzingis is a big name in the NBA but it is unknown what his value is at the moment. This would be the second time he has moved because of problems with the team he is on.
Also, Porzingis has been unable to stay healthy over the course of his career, including his tenure with the Dallas Mavericks. When coupling his injury concerns with an underwhelming playoff run, the Mavericks face a situation where their co-star has diminished value.
The public comments from the Mavericks have made it clear that the organization’s confidence in Porzingis is still high. However, even if he has a bounce-back season, the durability concerns are valid and are worth at least investigating trade options.
In this NBA trade scenario, the Mavericks would send Porzingis and Trey Burke to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope along with a 2022 first-round pick swap.
