In Marc Stein’s column on the end of Kristaps Porzingis saga, Stein notes that the 7’3” Latvian had given the Knicks a list of four teams he preferred as his next destination. The Mavericks, who traded for him, were not the list. The Brooklyn Nets were on it along with the Clippers and two other unidentified teams.
Stein chronicled the events that led up to Thursday’s deal that sent Porzingis and three teammates to the Mavericks for Dennis Smith Jr. and two expiring deals.
