Mark Cuban has heard the rumors that the Dallas Mavericks are shopping Kristaps Porzingis, and he doesn't like them one bit.
Cuban, who owns the Mavericks, told Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News on Tuesday that the team hasn't had any conversations about trading Porzingis.
As the Porzingis trade-talk smoke billows, I asked @mcuban about reports that Mavs have gauged @kporzee trade value.
"It's not accurate," he says. "We have not discussed him in a trade at all. Has not happened."The rumor that the Mavericks were sniffing around a possible Porzingis trade came from Bleacher Report, which mentioned Porzingis' defensive decline as a reason the Mavs were thinking about shipping him out.
