Mavs trade Porzingis to Wizards for Dinwiddie, Bertans

The Dallas Mavericks traded forward/center Kristaps Porzingis and a protected 2022 second-round draft pick to the Washington Wizards on Thursday for shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie and small forward Davis Bertans.

In a related move, the Mavs also waived center Moses Brown.

Porzingis was acquired by the Mavs from the New York Knicks on Jan. 31, 2019 in a blockbuster trade that sent shock waves across the NBA. However, after signing a five-year, $158 million contract with the Mavs in the summer of 2019, Porzingis spent more than his share of time on the injury list, and the Mavs decided to move forward without him.
