The Dallas Mavericks are interested in Washington Wizards’ forward Otto Porter per Michael Scotto of The Athletic.
“The Mavericks have expressed interest in trading for Wizards forward Otto Porter, league sources told The Athletic.”
Porter, 26, is averaging 11.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and two assists playing nearly 30 minutes per game. The Georgetown product is also shooting 37 percent from three, which represents a significant dip from his 44 percent clip from deep last season.
The acquisition of Trevor Ariza seemed to signal the Wizards were aiming for the Eastern Conference playoffs, but John Wall’s season ending surgery could (and should) have the organization re-evaluating it’s priorities as the team sits at 14-23.
