I think this trade is nothing but a roll of the dice for the Mavs FO:
Assuming they did not pass up other offers and KP and his contract were undesirable.
— You have KP on a HUGE contract. He has jelly for knees and your doctors have full intel on him. What are the chances he ever is useful for any extended period of time?
— You have Dinwiddie (not a fan personally) who is a bit injured but playing. Like KP…he has played at a high level in the past. Still overpaid, he is paid less than KP. He also has lesser upside. You also have Bertans who is most likely a spare. He has had one nice season. He is overpaid but overall makes less than KP or SD.
So I think the FO decided there was a better chance that at least one of these two would resurrect his career enough to be a neutral or positive asset. Its a gamble…will KP and his knees ever amount to anything or will at least one of these two schlubs amount to something?
Tough call. But they are rolling the dice on the schlubs.
