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

[KillerLeft]

I understand they really wanted to get off KP. Why not choose the deal that gets you a first AND Luka's buddy Goran then?

Apply logic. 

What's more likely, that the Mavs are complete idiots, or that a more favorable deal than this one simply didn't exist? 

I honestly think that either A) KP's contract is so hated that a more traditional salary dump offer wasn't out there or B) for some reason, the Mavs didn't want his money to expire. They wanted to chop it up into (slightly) more movable pieces.
