makes no sense from a basketball perspective. Not now. Combined, they don’t make the Mavs better than they were with Porzingis. Not now, not next year, not ever.
After the Clippers kicked the Mavs to the curb, I wrote that either Carlisle or KP had to go. No way the team could pay a guy $35 million a year to go stand in the corner and act tall.Of course, the guy who made the deal to bring Porzingis to Dallas is gone, too. At the time, I considered it one of Donnie Nelson’s finest moments. Who didn’t? Knicks fans were aghast, though their anger abated the more Porzingis sat.
The pairing was such a clunker, we looked for signs about what could be wrong. We noted how rarely they even seemed to acknowledge each other on the floor. Frankly, that chemistry was one of the reasons it didn’t seem likely they would trade Brunson or Dorian Finney-Smith, the organization’s most talked-about trade prospects. Giving them up might ruin their playoff chances if the return wasn’t significant.Me, neither.
