They're STILL paying down the first one.
I must disagree violently.
The Wizards stole him from us then the Celtics stole him from the Wizards.
Porzingis is scoring 20 ppg on the league's best team on tremendous efficiency. He rebounds and blocks shots. He's the Celtics 2nd-best player on EPM and top-15 in the entire NBA on EPM. He was pretty great last season on a bad team and now is even better on the league's best team. The problem was us.
We traded him for a pile of crap. I think that remains one of the worst trades in Mavericks history.
I believe we traded him because he didn't fit well with Luka and Luka probably didn't like him personally.
I think a more mature Luka could make it work. In fact, if we could somehow magically add him to this roster, we'd be a top-5 contender in the NBA.
