Golden State Warriors should trade Wiseman for: Kristaps Porziņģis

Another name that comes to mind is Kristaps Porzingis. His time in Dallas could be coming to an end as his role changed because of both his lacking play and the star power of future MVP candidate Luka Doncic.

Porzingis may want out, and he may come at a cheap price after a difficult postseason. The Mavericks lost in seven games to the Los Angeles Clippers, and Porzingis did his stock no favors.

He averaged 13.1 points per game and shot just 47.2 percent from the field. It kept feeling like Porzingis may pop off and help the Mavs down the Kawhi Leonard-led Clips, but he didn’t. Also an injury-prone forward, it was shocking to see him play all seven games.

KP averaged over 20 points per game in the regular season. He also shot over 37 percent from deep. He can space the floor and help provide length defensively. Porzingis would have to be a pretty cheap addition as his value tanked this postseason.

For Wiseman and a future pick, it could be worth looking into.
