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

[hakeemfaan]

KP was a max contract with a frightful injury history (and currently injured) whose team seemed to play just a well/better with him not on the court.  Based on that it's hard to imagine getting any kind of positive asset for him.

Whether trading him for the WAS duo was the right move or not is debatable, but I think it's unrealistic to imagine that there was some way to extract value from other teams just for KP.  If the Mavs wanted to move on from KP (and they clearly did) then this is the kind of trade that happens unless the Mavs wanted to add better players or better picks.

If this is truly the best they could do you punt it to the off season then. What is the risk?  That you will never get players of even the caliber of Dimwiddie and Bertans if you wait more?  That’s fine. I will live with that risk.
