Dallas Mavericks send Kristaps Porzingis to the Washington Wizards for Spencer Dinwiddie

The Dallas Mavericks have caused a stir with a surprising blockbuster trade. The Texans traded Kristaps Porzingis to the Washington Wizards. This is reported by several media unanimously.

In return, Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans move to Dallas, and the Mavs also send a second-round pick to the capital. This ends Porzingi’s “era” after three years and only 134 games in Dallas. The Latvian had only played 34 games this season, and the unicorn is currently missing again with foot problems.

With Dinwiddie, on the other hand, the Mavs get another playmaker who could relieve Luka Doncic. The 28-year-old had decided against a commitment in Dallas in the summer and instead signed in Washington for three years and $ 54 million.

At the side of all-star Bradley Beal, the beefy guard could never meet expectations and, after his cruciate ligament injury, was not as good as he was in the Nets days.

In 44 games, Dinwiddie averaged 12.6 points and 5.8 assists at meager odds of 37.6 percent from the field and 31 percent from the back three.

A few hours later, the Mavs also agreed to an early contract extension with Dorian Finney-Smith. Several teams were said to be interested in the wing ahead of the trade deadline, but Dallas was keen to keep the 28-year-old. This has now even succeeded in the long term, DFS signed for four years and 52 million dollars.
