The deal, which was made official on Thursday afternoon, includes seven players in total. The Mavericks will receive Porzingis, Tin Hardaway Jr., Trey Burke and Courtney Lee. The Knicks will receive Dennis Smith Jr., DeAndre Jordan and Wesley Matthews, along with two future first round draft picks.
Obviously, a great move for the Mavericks. Porzingas is coming off a major injury, but there's no question that he's extremely talented. They've also shed the players who were trying to freeze out Luka Doncic, which sets them on a much better path as far as rebuilding is concerned.
As for the Knicks...well, I guess their hand was somewhat forced since Porzingas had indicated to them that he wanted out, but still. GM Scott Perry may be "confident (it) improves the franchise", but I'm not sure if many Knicks fans will be buying that.
