If we traded KP for Dinwiddie straight up I would have felt way better about the trade at the time, and would already concede it was a win now. Bertans is not a "sweetener". He is an albatross. We have to pay him 17 mil a year for several years and he is currently playing less than 10 minutes a game. That is not good.
Don't understand your second point. I suggested we should have signed Dinwiddie in the offseason instead of THJ.
They could not have just "dumped" KP in the offseason. You would have just cut him and taken the cap hit?
Then you would have signed SD. So then we would have remained in cap hell with no KP.
Right now we have Bertens contract instead of KP as a bad contract at the worst. At best, Bertens starts to earn his contract which KP never did.
The Mavs are winning right now. For all we know they could win it all this year. With your plan, we were a guaranteed 1st round exit this year.
We knew our ceiling before the trade. Now we have no idea what our ceiling is this year.
Get over your sour grapes. Stop holding on to what you wanted.
