KP will no longer be a not-for-sale lone ranger, but the 5-year contract becomes a hindrance | NBA | DONGTW News

According to a report by American journalist Jake Fischer, the Dallas Mavericks no longer regard Kristaps Porzingis as not for sale.

It is understood that the Lone Ranger is considering other teams’ interest in KP and exploring the value of KP’s trade.

At the beginning, the Mavericks and the New York Nick completed a 7-man deal. Owner Mark Cuban was very fond of KP, and the management of Mavericks also regarded KP as the team’s future core.

The combination of Luka Doncic+KP looks perfect inside and out, but KP’s injury has become a potential hazard.

So far this season, KP has averaged 20.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. However, so far this season, KP has only played 17 games, playing and stopping. His absence also makes Doncic difficult to support.

In addition, on the court, KP, who has experienced season reimbursement, is more accustomed to staying outside, and its influence in confrontation and inside attack has weakened.

In the summer of 2019, KP signed a 5-year $150 million maximum salary contract with the Mavericks. But after the Lone Ranger regretted his exit from the playoffs last season, his performance this season was not as good as expected, and he is currently only ranked 9th in the Western Conference, and the team’s defense ranks 27th in the league.

However, in the face of KP’s injury constitution and 150 million contracts, whether it will become an obstacle for the team to trade, it will be a difficult problem for the Lone Ranger team to think about.
