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.
I totally get that we needed to move KP and we are more flexible. I've been on the "we need to trade KP sooner rather than later" train for a good while now. I think that we can move Dimwiddie somewhat easily down the road but the concerns about what this means for Brunson are whats really bugging me. If these contracts were for frontcourt and wing players I'd feel a lot better about everything.
Also, starting to wonder if this means Hardaway is out for the season.
