It's not just the Wizards' pink uniforms. There's something different about Kristaps Porzingis in Washington this season.
WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 04: Kristaps Porzingis #6 of the Washington Wizards shoots the ball against Anthony Davis #3 of the Los Angeles Lakers in the second quarter of the game at Capital One Arena on December 04, 2022 in Washington, DC.

Such an egalitarian partnership, though, was how Dallas first billed its dreamy Doncic-Porzingis pairing in 2019, when the Mavericks swooped in to land the 23-year-old fresh off that All-Star appearance — despite a torn ACL in his left knee sidelining Porzingis for the entire 2018-19 campaign. The Mavericks lavished their splashy acquisition with a five-year, $158 million deal during that July’s free agency, without him even playing a game for the franchise.
“Off-the-court fun, it always helps building chemistry,” Porzingis said. “I was playing really well in that moment, making a lot of shots, so it was clicking, definitely.” “Luka is a generational talent. You have to put the perfect team around him to try to get the maximum out of him, you know?” Porzingis said. “I just wasn’t the right guy.”
And so, 23 minutes before the buzzer sounded, Dallas officials redialed Washington. The Wizards and Mavericks had held discussions on other trade frameworks, but these waning moments, sources said, were when the two teams first discussed sending Porzingis to the nation’s capital. Dallas was able to net an additional ball-handler in Spencer Dinwiddie, a secondary creator for Doncic, who could also spearhead bench units if the Mavericks were to, gulp, ultimately lose Jalen Brunson in free agency.
