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

The possibility (or likelihood) of DB not being "worth" his contract is such a non-issue in evaluating this trade. Worst case scenario with DB would be he sits injured, and is a clunky or poor quality fit with Luka when he plays. But, unfortunately, what we had in KP was those things more often than not -- but being paid double the salary.

Great way of looking at it. Even if Bertans is overpaid, at least it's 16 million instead of 30 million in dead salary like when KP was injured. And the bonus is Dinwiddie who has been fantastic, honestly probably a better fit than even KP was. Plus I have faith that Bertans will start to shoot better eventually, enough that even if he's overpaid, at least he's not a net negative.
