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

[KillerLeft]

I think Kam was right that they did have this plan all along.  In fact I wonder if Cuban told Rick this after Donnie left, and thats when Rick decided he didn't want to mess with trying to showcase KP for 2/3 a season and decided it was time to bail.

I don't know about any dot connecting with Carlisle - good theory, but not what I'm commenting on. 

I've heard in 2-3 places (mostly local radio) over the past 48 hours that KP straight up asked for a trade after last season and the speculation now is that they sat him down and asked him to give it one more try in the new system. The transparently communicated idea to Porzingis being "if it works, great, if not, maybe we'll at least have some options about where to send you." Again, this is some fact mixed with some speculation and then paraphrased by me, but I feel like it makes some sense.
