One of the lesser talked about storylines of the NBA Finals is Porzingis' return to Dallas, which one former Maverick says he shouldn't expect a warm welcome back to DFW
The NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks will start this Thursday, June 6th. While much of the talk is about Kyrie Irving and his return to Boston, a city and fanbase he has a nasty history with, Boston's Kristaps Porzingis will also be facing his former team. And if you are to believe one of his former players, Porzingis likely won't receive a great reception in Dallas.
Parsons has his own history of being booed by fanbases, so he's speaking from experience there. After signing a 3-year/$46 million deal with Dallas in 2014, he opted out of the final year to sign a 4-year/$94.4 million contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, notoriously one of the worst contracts in NBA history, where he'd play in just 95 total games and average 7.2 PPG before being traded to the Atlanta Hawks due to injury.
Less than three years after signing that contract, Porzingis was essentially salary-dumped at the 2022 trade deadline along with a second-round pick to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Davis Bertans and Spencer Dinwiddie.
