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

[StrandedOnBeauboisHill]

I don't think KP's contract was as hated as we're trying to rationalize. I really do think the Mavs (read Cuban) liked Dinwiddie and rehabbing Bertans versus trading KP for air and Dragic. KP for all of his positives just didn't play in enough games and the Mavs wanted to turn him into some guys that could contribute. It remains to be seen if Dinwiddie and Bertans can contribute to a playoff team. The fact we're unsure means it's a bad trade from the get-go no matter what. 

Still the Mavs sold as low as they possibly could have, which is just piss poor asset management. If you're giving up your supposed 2nd best player and eating a bad contract in the process, you have to get AT LEAST get something in return. Whether that be a first, a prospect like Kispert, Avdija, Rui, or even a freaking 2nd. 

There's only 30 people on earth who know how true those bolded statements are.
