I agree THJ flips to + next season, and I think it's likely that Dinwiddie does, too.
Ntilikina, Brown, Burke and Chriss are all on contracts so small they are basically just throw ins. They might even seem like value deals if they're going to new teams who plan on actually playing them. Eye of the beholder on those, imo.
Boban is absolutely a negative, but his deal is fairly small, too, and it doesn't last much longer.
Nobody on this team besides your top 3-4 names are players teams are dying to acquire. I get that point and agree with it. But, I don't think it's nearly as bad as people are feeling like it is this week, and it's certainly no worse than it was before this trade. Dinwiddie will be tradable this off-season, if they want to move him. Or at the next deadline. Or the summer after that.
Porzingis wasn't. This trade is a miracle, given all that we're learning about his worth. He HAD to go. Keeping him wasn't an option.
