达拉斯小牛队老板马克·库班没想到2019年能如此天衣无缝地从纽约尼克斯队得到克里斯塔普斯·波津吉斯。
据报道，在一次会面让尼克斯相信波辛吉斯想被交易后，他们很快把这位拉脱维亚大个子连同小蒂姆哈达威、考特尼李和特雷伯克一起运到了达拉斯。作为回报，纽约收购了乔丹，马修斯，史密斯和两个未来的第一轮选秀权。
库班承认，当他收到尼克斯的报价时，感到震惊。
“很好，”库班本周早些时候在WFAN的“驼鹿和玛吉”节目中说这发生在NBA。
“这就像詹姆斯·哈登的交易。哈登从奥克转会到火箭，我想，该死的，为什么我们都没有得到报价呢我们不是混血儿。没有人是。一通电话，火箭队答应了。（Porzingis贸易）是我们唯一的电话。”
库班说，对于总经理来说，接受那些被认为不可触碰的明星的交易建议并不罕见。他指出，过去他经常听到球队高管对收购小牛传奇人物德克·诺维茨基感兴趣。他还说，此前他曾与尼克斯就波辛吉斯问题进行过类似的讨论，这使得尼克斯能够加快谈判。
尼克斯队在2015年整体第四次征召了波辛吉斯。在纽约的三个赛季中，他平均得到17.8分、7.1个篮板和两个盖帽，2018年被评为全明星球员，不过由于前交叉韧带撕裂，他没有参加比赛。
在与小牛队的51场比赛中，他平均得到19.2分，9.5个篮板，2.1个盖帽，弧线外投篮命中率为34.9%。
库班将尼克斯选择与波辛吉斯分手与他自己决定允许纳什在2004年以自由球员的身份离开菲尼克斯太阳队进行了比较。纳什随后接连赢得MVP大奖。
“每个球队都有自己的理由，”库班说我们让史蒂夫·纳什走了。这是我做过的最蠢的事。当时，我得到了医生的建议，说他的背可能撑不住了。

Cuban was stunned at how Mavs landed Porzingis from Knicks
原文：
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban didn't expect to land Kristaps Porzingis from the New York Knicks so seamlessly in 2019.
After a reported meeting led the Knicks to believe Porzingis wanted to be traded, they quickly shipped the Latvian big man to Dallas along with Tim Hardaway Jr., Courtney Lee, and Trey Burke. In return, New York acquired DeAndre Jordan, Wesley Matthews, Dennis Smith Jr., and two future first-round picks.
Cuban admitted he was left stunned when he received the Knicks' offer.
"Very," Cuban said on WFAN's "Moose & Maggie" earlier this week. "It happens in the NBA.
"It's like the James Harden trade. Harden gets traded from OKC to the Rockets and I'm like, 'Damn, why didn't we even get that offered to us?' We weren't in the mix. Nobody was. It was one phone call and the Rockets said yes. (The Porzingis trade) was our one phone call."
Cuban said it's not unusual for general managers to receive trade proposals for their supposedly untouchable stars. He noted he used to frequently hear from team executives who were interested in acquiring Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki. He also said he had previously held similar discussions with the Knicks about Porzingis, which allowed them to accelerate negotiations.
The Knicks drafted Porzingis fourth overall in 2015. He went on to average 17.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, and two blocks in three seasons in New York and was named an All-Star in 2018, though he didn't participate in the game due to an ACL tear.
In 51 games with the Mavericks, he's averaged 19.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks while shooting 34.9 percent from beyond the arc.
Cuban compared the Knicks' choice to part with Porzingis with his own decision to allow Steve Nash to leave for the Phoenix Suns as a free agent in 2004. Nash then went on to win back-to-back MVP awards.
"Every team has their own reasons," Cuban said. "We let Steve Nash walk. It was the dumbest thing I've ever done. At the time, I was getting medical advice saying his back may not make it.
