NBA Trade Rumors: Kyrie Irving trade packages that would upgrade the Nets
Kristaps Porziņģis for Kyrie Irving
The Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porziņģis tandem has not had the returns that Dallas had hoped. Currently, when Porziņģis is on the floor for the Mavs, they are 10-9, meaning they are just about average.
This swap would take some of the ball-handling responsibilities away from Luka, allowing him not to exert as much energy to keep him fresh late in games.
Porziņģis would also be able to work more toward the basket with the spacing Harden and Durant provide. This trade is the only option Dallas has to move Kristaps Porziņģis as his contract is looked at as untradeable due to his injury history and salary range.
