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

[michaeltex]

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.

IF the huge contracts of Hardin, Wall, CP3 (twice!) and others can be moved, then the relatively small deals of Bertans and Dinwiddie are tradeable. 

TBH, I'm a little surprised DAL even found a trading partner for KP. Since the team has been playing well without him, I don't think the trade will have any on-court negatives this year. It will be more about getting the new guys integrated and there is an ASB coming up to help with that.
