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

[Omega_Supreme]

Fully agree, the flexibility on offense will be so much better. Bertans and Dinwiddie will far improve our offense flexibility and to get others involved and not only run Luka iso offense. But on defensive side? One KP is far better than what SD or Bertans combined can provide. We will face some tough matchups where we would wish we had KP. It all comes down to Maxi playing huge minutes, his role must and im fully convinced will increase. In case Maxi would not be able to play, this team will play without a true rim protector, which is essentially checkmate (against us) even with the offensive flexibility. All in all, I love the trade, and I believe Maxi will hold on the defensive side his increased role, while the increase flexibility on offense will outweight the defensive losses of KP gone.

Although I agree with your point, how much do we really miss KP in the size scenario because the last 2 playoff series he was a non factor both by being absent and injured. 

I would venture to say we carry the same risks we did the last two playoff series with the exception of having more offensive power now. 

I tend to look at it with a half glass full, just because KP was on the team, he was never actually relevant with the exception of a few playoff games. So did we really lose what he brings to the table?
