Mark Cuban Shuts Down Kristaps Porzingis Trade Rumors, ‘Not Gonna Happen’

Kristaps Porzingis is NOT being shipped out of Dallas under ANY circumstance … so says Mark Cuban.

The Mavs owner forcefully shut down persistent rumors that Dallas is looking to move the 25-year-old … despite only being in the 2nd year of a 5-year $158 million contract he signed in 2019.

There have been rumblings about the Mavs looking for a trade partner for the past month — including an SNY report that Dallas has reached out to the Golden State Warriors to see if they were interested in a deal.

Cuban had denied the rumors back in February — but the rumblings continued — which led to Cuban slamming the door shut on a possible KP move during Tuesday’s appearance on “Live with Kelly & Ryan.”

“We’re not trading KP,” Cuban said … “KP’s a star.”

As Ryan Seacrest continued to probe, Cuban doubled down — “It’s not gonna happen, Ryan. You heard it here first. Definitely not gonna happen.”

Porzingis missed the first 3 weeks of the NBA season while recovering from knee surgery — and missed another 2 weeks last month with a back injury.

Despite the hiccups, KP is still a monster when he’s on the court — averaging 20.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.

The Mavs are currently in 8th place in the Western Conference — and clearly Cuban is hoping KP will keep them in the playoff hunt.
