You kicked the KP can down the road a bit though. Assuming he opts in, KP expires in '23-34. Assuming we keep Dinwiddie, he expires in '23-24. Bertans expires in '24-25. You are probably locked into Bertans contract unless you kick the can further down the road by giving up assets to dump him. You can argue the merits of Dinwiddie versus KP and I'd probably be in favor of Dinwiddie before the playoffs but if you factor in playoff performance, it's a wash. We still owe picks for trading for and trading away KP. I wouldn't call anything about the KP situation a success at this point.
