I myself thought it was a bad trade until KP still didn’t play for another 2 weeks after the trade. That’s when I realized why TOR (trying to make a playoff push this year) backed out.
Yeah I am totally with that and understand a person being against it or thinking it was a bad trade.
My reply at the time is and continues to be that it was the best trade we could get and better than what I expected to be honest. Fans typically over value their players but from the outside looking in KP is a bad asset.
The Mavs felt more comfortable gambling on two players that fit our system and turning them into positive assets making them easier movable pieces than KP. BTW Dinwiddie has made THJ expendable.
I predict Bertans will find his shooting as he gets more reps.
You guys had valid reasons to be against the trade but again the bigger picture makes it a good trade IMO.
