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

[ThisIStheYear]

Listened to the first part of the BS podcast, discussing the KP trades. Haralabob was the guest. If this has already been summarized elsewhere, disregard. 


First, Bill and Bob discussed the recent trade of KP to Washington. 

Bob thinks the Mavs wanted to keep DFS and offer Brunson a contract in free agency, and having KP’s huge contract on the books made that difficult. Now, they are in a position to decide in the summer whether they want to keep Dinwiddie or re-sign Brunson.

Or better, decide between SD and THJ.  SD, THJ, and JB all seem like they’ll have similar contracts when all is said and done.  JB is clearly the best of the three (so maybe he’ll get more than the $20 million we think). Haven’t seen enough of SD yet, but I expect I’ll prefer him to THJ.  SD just does more things.
