NBA Trade Rumors: 3 perfect landing spots for Kristaps Porzingis
NBA trade destinations for KP: Orlando Magic
I thought of this trade as a possible upgrade if Dallas aims to improve their roster at the deadline. The Mavericks, in this scenario, would be looking to bolster their roster by making a move for the Magic’s All-Star Nikola Vucevic.
Vucevic would be an instant upgrade over Porzingis and a perfect fit alongside Luka Doncic. Vucevic is having the best year of his career and averaging 24.5 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists. He is also is shooting a career-high 41 percent from 3 this season. Could Porzingis, another player, and a pick or two be enough to woo the Magic into a deal?
It will be interesting to see how the market develops for Porzingis in the coming weeks. Making a move for Porzingis would be labeled as a high-risk move for most teams. The multiple knee injuries and availability is concerning when making a deal of this caliber. Could Dallas find a trade partner for Porzingis?
