I think it's a big assumption to think they'd have to be expiring to move them.
I think maybe we're underestimating how much a worse a bad MAX deal is than just a normal bad contract.
I don't WANT to defend this trade - I hate it. Just trying to accurately understand it.
I think the thing we're missing is that the Mavs REALLY WANTED TO BE RID OF PORZINGIS. Start from that point, and then assume this was the best package they could get, and it starts to make sense. Both Dinwiddie and Bertans WILL play in the playoff rotation, so technically they moved up from 7 guys to 8.
