Mavericks pull off blockbuster trade to add All-Star Kristaps Porzingis

The Dallas Mavericks pulled off a dazzling, no-look trade on Thursday.

The Mavs, who have been rumored to be shopping point guard Dennis Smith Jr. for a month, not only traded Smith, but also center DeAndre Jordan and guard Wesley Matthews to the New York Knicks in exchange for forward Kristaps Porzingis and guards Tim Hardaway Jr., Courtney Lee and Trey Burke.

Dallas also sent the Knicks two future first-round draft picks. The Mavs also requested waivers on forward Ray Spalding.

Porzingis, 23, who is 7-foot-3, was an All-Star a year ago when he averaged a career-high 22.
