DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[dirkfansince1998]

So would OPJ be our Shawn Marion type with KP and Luka?  I'd be OK to move THJ because he is not a Jason Terry type.

First of all I don´t think that it makes sense to compare any future Mavs contender with the 2011 team. Just special circumstances with a unique group of veterans.
Doncic and KP are 10-15 years away from that point of their career.
Just looking at his skill set Porter isn´t anything like Marion. Probably a more balanced player but impact wise clearly worse. Marion was an elite defender/rebounder with solid slashing and cutting ability. Porter is an above average defender but not a lockdown onball defender or a great help side defender like Marion.
On offense his shooting ability makes him a more versatile scorer and more useful off the ball.

I like his fit next to Luka and KP but I think ideally he takes DFS role. He is not a shot creator and just like DFS not strong enough to guard the bigger forwards in the league.
I am also not willing to give up a lot for a player with an expiring contract.
