Yes, this swap might not help EITHER the Mavs or MIL. Maybe it's just an imaginary "alternate trade partner" for both teams, being "leaked" to be a negotiating ploy on other fronts..
Personally I think Portis could be helpful for DAL. He has size, he can rebound, he can hit 3's. And MIL is apparently very willing to move Portis. That's not in dispute.
Portis is a backup, so it's not likely he can net them a starter. GWill may not be the profile of player they are seeking, however. Green has been suggested as one who could, and I would suggest that either DJJ or Exum could also fill the bill. Would GWill be included too, if he's not the guy, or would the Mavs angle for a different salary filler (like Holmes)?
GW is the much-younger player vs Portis That may be a consideration too.
With all due respect, that's a losing proposition for Milwaukee. GWill doesn't offer half the things Portis does. Who says Milwaukee was anxious to move him? Hadn't heard that one.
