A massive, though still unofficial, trade-deadline deal. A likely contract extension. A possible Luka Doncic-friendly move to come. Catch all that action...
The Mavericks also are adding Davis Bertans in the deal, and Dallas is sending a second-round pick to the Wizards.
The Mavericks cannot comment yet as they wait for the NBA to approve their deal in a logjam of 16 teams combining for nine deals that included 32 players before the 2 p.m. deadline Thursday.“I think KP’s an incredible talent. But we needed that shooter [Bertans] and we needed another ball handler [Dinwiddie] who could create a shot, and unfortunately that was the only way we were going to get them,,” Cuban said before referencing the Mavericks’ 13-8 without Porzingis this season.
Porzingis looked more mobile and energized while averaging 19.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in coach Jason Kidd’s system. But his sporadic availability didn’t match his five-year, $158.3 million max contract value that he signed in the 2019 offseason.“It wasn’t like he was just hurt all the time,” Cuban said. “He wasn’t. We were just overly cautious. … KP worked so hard. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves for doing the work it takes to keep his body healthy.
After his $31.7 million salary this season, Porzingis’ contract will increase to $33.8 million in 2022-23 and a player option for $36.1 million in 2023-24.Dinwiddie is guaranteed $18 million next season and at least $10 million of $18.9 million in 2023-24, the final year of the deal he signed with Washington last offseason.
