Kevin Sherrington: The Porzingis era ended up being a bust for the Mavs — as is the trade that brought it to an end

DALLAS — On one hand, the Kristaps Porzingis trade did this: Dumped one of the NBA’s worst salaries, which seemed impossible, and possibly gave the Mavs a little latitude to do something big this summer. Let’s hope so.

Otherwise, I don’t know what Nico Harrison and Mark Cuban were thinking.

Giving up the, granted, potential of Porzingis for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans 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.
