We’ve got a few weeks before the NBA offseason gets going at full steam, so you know what that means— time for rampant speculation! And who better to speculate about than the Dallas Mavericks’ floor-spacing, 7’3” playoff decoy Kristaps Porzingis. Maybe new head coach Jason Kidd will find a better way to integrate Porzingis into the Mavericks’ Luka Doncic-centric offense. But right now, it’s more fun to think about the players Porzingis could bring back in a trade.
The thing is, Mavericks fans will have to recalibrate their expectations for the return on any Porzingis trade.
