Much has been made about the relationship between Dallas Mavericks stars Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. Rumor has it that these two Mavs studs just don't get along.
ESPN's NBA insider Stephen A. Smith just added more fuel to this flame by doubling down on the rumored beef between Doncic and Porzingis. Smith even went as far as suggesting that the Mavs should seriously consider offloading Porzingis in the offseason:
“Kristaps Porzingis is not seen as having the greatest relationship with Luka Doncic,” Smith said on a recent episode of ESPN's First Take. A matter of fact, some people have accused him of being jealous… I'm telling you what I'm hearing from my sources in Dallas… Porzingis probably needs to go. They need to utilize him to get a bonafide secondary scoring option.”
Smith is one of the most well-informed personalities around the NBA, so it wouldn't be shocking if what he's saying here is actually true. This also isn't the first time we've heard about Doncic and Porzingis not exactly being the best of friends in Dallas, so perhaps all these rumors have a basis.
Whatever the case may be, it will definitely be an interesting summer for the Mavs. They are coming off another disappointing season and at this point, it feels like a major shakeup could be forthcoming. There's no way Dallas lets Doncic go, so as it is, have we already seen the last of Porzingis in a Mavs uniform?
