This offseason will be the time to trade KP for a playmaker and add a rim-runner big man.
I agree. Already posted my conspiracy theory that the Mavs know they´d be a better team with a Pow-zingis, but banging down low, cutting hard to the rim and catching lob passes puts you in a lot of unpredictable (physical) positions, which significantly increases your injury risk.
If Porzingis suffers another knee-injury, while awkwardly landing due to some shove in the back or just bad weight distribution, his trade value is DEAD. So if the Mavs want to trade him, it makes sense to have him play a conservative game physically to minimize such a risk.
I wonder, if there is any chance the Cavs would be interested in an Allen/Prince for Porzingis swap? Probably not, but that would still be the best deal for our off-season.
1) Find your big for the next decade
2) Improve your defense with Prince with chance to re-sign him for
That idiotic and cheap Rockets owner, probably killed any chance of making that deal ourselves, because he didn´t want talent, just expirings and ended up with Oladipo.
