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

[KillerLeft]

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

Devil's Advocate (your way might have been better). 

I think this signals that they are (and more importantly, want to be) DONE with the cap room approach for a while. Otherwise, I think they do exactly what you said: let him expire and probably line up some other expiring deals to coincide. 

I think they believe they can transition these players into other players much more easily than they could've done with Porzingis.
