The Dallas Mavericks took on the Detroit Pistons Thursday night, on a random NBA weekday where nothing special or particularly interesting happened...
KRISTAPS...
OK, so it’s impossible to talk about this game without mentioning that the Mavericks executed a shocking trade with the New York Knicks, acquiring 7’3 big man Kristaps Porzingis and sending away embattled point guard Dennis Smith Jr, as well as veterans Wes Matthews and DeAndre Jordan.
Though the deal had reportedly been in the works for some time, news that Kristaps had asked to be traded hit the internet in the early afternoon.
