Wizards Trade Kristaps Porzingis to Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans
Breaking News: Major Shakeup in NBA as Wizards Send Porzingis to Dallas
Dallas Scores Big with Porzingis Acquisition
In a blockbuster trade that has sent shockwaves through the NBA, the Washington Wizards have traded Kristaps Porzingis to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans, plus a protected second-round pick.
The move comes as a major surprise, as Porzingis was considered a key part of the Wizards' future. The 26-year-old Latvian has averaged 22.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per game this season, and was seen as a potential franchise player in Washington.
However, the Wizards have struggled to find success this season, currently sitting at 29-35 and 11th in the Eastern Conference. The trade is seen as a sign that the team is willing to make significant changes in order to improve their fortunes.
For the Mavericks, the acquisition of Porzingis is a major coup. The 7-foot-3 center gives Dallas a much-needed boost in size and athleticism, and his shooting ability will make him a valuable asset to the team's offense.
The trade deadline is set for 3 p.m. ET on Thursday, and it is likely that more deals will be made before then. Stay tuned for the latest updates on all the NBA trade rumors and news.
