Honestly if this was the best deal they could've gotten then you just have to wait. It seems like the Mavs tried doing this last season too and decided to wait too.
On the one hand I 100% agree with you. The Mavs got off of a bad contract in KP. They ripped the band-aid off and have removed the obstacle that has plagued this team in building around Luka (whether it be fit or money) for the last 2 years.
On the other hand they replaced that obstacle with 2 smaller but equally unpalatable obstacles and got nothing in return to make it easier to swallow.
I would 1000% be behind the trade if the Mavs just got 1 additional asset. Just 1 thing. A 1st, a 2nd, a prospect. I don't care. Anything. But they didn't and instead gave stuff up. Thats my issue.
I find it hard to believe that this was the best possible deal out there. If the Wizards could've gotten a 2nd for Harrell from CHA, then I'm sure the Mavs could've dumped Porzingis to Charlotte for a similar return.
