NBA Trade Rumors: Ranking the 10 most likely star players to be moved in 2021

2. Kristaps Porzingis, Dallas Mavericks

If the Dallas Mavericks are looking to make any sort of upgrade to the roster during the season, it will likely have to come at the expense of Kristaps Porzingis. Kristaps is still a good, productive young player but also one that would probably benefit from a change of scenery.

He simply hasn’t been a great fit next to Luka Doncic and hasn’t exactly raised the team’s ceiling since he was acquired by the team a couple of seasons ago. The big question is whether or not a vast trade market will emerge.

If there was one, I’m under the belief that Kristaps likely would’ve already been traded. Nevertheless, as the Mavs look to make an upgrade at some point soon, expect Kristaps to find his name in the rumor mill once again.
