I don't have any insight into his injuries, but up until 18/19, he was very healthy and exactly what this team needs. Elite from the corner and Elite perimeter D. If that guy still exists (and if you can get Wright's money out of here), sign me up.
I also like Porter and think he'd be a great fit here, even if I think Dallas would miss THJ more than people think.
If Chicago isn't inclined to keep Porter after next season anyway, one creative trade idea I've been thinking about is Wright/Lee/18 for Porter. Lee would be a S&T for as much as it takes to balance the salaries but with only 1 year guaranteed, and I can guarantee he'd be happy to unofficially agree to that deal at the draft without worrying about free agency. Basically, Chicago gets Wright/18, Dallas gets Porter (while maintaining plenty of cap flexibility in '21 with both THJ and Porter expiring), and Lee gets a fat paycheck for being in the right place at the right time.
