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

[hakeemfaan]

Two smart guys, you and @"hakeemfan", say that we should have waited. OK. But I don't understand why. What would be the benefit of waiting? Would KP's contract have become easier to move in the summer? Would his max contract be more helpful in trades this summer than the two smaller ones?

What is the risk?  That you lost out on Bertans and Dimwiddie and are stuck with KP?  I will take that risk.  As others have pointed out the Wiz were even more desperate than us to put a talent, albeit a fragile one, next to Beal. Luka at least is not going anywhere the next few years. They have to keep Beal happy. Given that how do you not even get a FRP back?  Call their bluff and accept the risk, if you want to call it that, of KP staying. Instead we even gave up a pick. SMH.
