The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly finalizing a deal to acquire Kristaps Porzingis in a blockbuster trade with the New York Knicks, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Wojnarowski provided a breakdown of the likely deal:
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, Trey Burke could also be included in the deal to help balance the salaries.
Porzingis has been out all year while recovering from a torn ACL suffered last season. In December, the Knicks announced he would be evaluated in mid-February, although there was no timetable for his return.
The Knicks said the soonest Porzingis could return would be the end of February, but there are no guarantees he will play at all in 2018-19. Of course, Dallas will have an opportunity to create its own timetable.
