Kristaps Porzingis is officially a member of the Dallas Mavericks, and it's safe to say Porzingis is very excited about being teammates with Mavs rookie phenom Luka Doncic.
A few hours after the trade was officially completed, Kristaps Porzingis took to Twitter to express just how happy he is to be out of New York and in Dallas.
To make matters even better for Mavs fans, Porzingis' tweet is a GIF of him and Luka Doncic:

Kristaps Porzingis is still rehabbing from the ACL tear he suffered last season, but that's not going to stop KP from being pumped to join Dallas and Luka Doncic. Whenever he's ready to play, Porzingis and Doncic are going to be one of the best young duos in the NBA.
In 48 games last season, Kristaps Porzingis averaged 22.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.4 blocks per game. KP shot 43.9 percent from the field, 39.5 percent from beyond the arc and 79.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Porzingis will likely be rusty when he does return, but it's still exciting to think about how he's going to mesh with Luka Doncic, who is the front runner for the 2019 Rookie of the Year. Both players have bright futures and are in a great system in Dallas.
