TRADE: Dinwiddie + Bertans to DAL | KP + 2nd to WAS

[soog]

Yep. As @"dirkfansince1998" said, this is all setting up this summer while not screwing with what the Mavs have going right now.

KP was literally a non-factor at this point and so all the momentum the Mavs have right now is preserved. AND they have a chance to integrate two guys who HAVE been effective in the last couple years. Then make decisions this summer.

If he’s a non-factor then just let him sit and remain a non-factor until he comes off of the books or is an enormous expiring.  Instead they traded for two other non-factors that have longer contracts and reduce flexibility in the future…. They are just doubling down in their problem by trying to run away from it
