Dallas Mavericks fans are still reeling after the Jan. 31 blockbuster deal that brought Kristaps Porzingis to Dallas. The Mavs traded away three starters and two first-round picks to get Porzingis, Tim Hardaway Jr., Trey Burke, and Courtney Lee. It was a hefty price to pay, but young superstars never come at a discount.
Porzingis is still recovering from a torn ACL and is not expected to play at all this season. That is disappointing for Mavericks fans, but having Kristaps healthy for the next decade should outweigh watching him ball this season.
