KP was a bad asset and we traded him to a team that has nothing to lose. There is no way a team like Philly that is a championship contender would do a swap like that.
Our trade options were extremely limited with KP. The Mavs elected for long term cap flexibility and immediate roster help.
By the way by the Mavs trading the way they did it opens up possibilities down the road when Bertans is on the last few years of his deal.
Its kind of a catch 22 on value. If Dinwiddie and Bertans are so great then maybe KP value was not that low, right? An interesting question is would you rather have Tobias Harris or Dinwiddie and Bertans?
A straight trade with Philly would not have made sense. Just coming up with a similar high priced distressed asset. The Tobias Harris contract is not good. He is a good player making max money. No idea what it could have been, but there would have been more options in the offseason.
There is no point in hashing out who won the trade anymore. Lets just say that I have some trepidation regarding what this FO will do in the coming offseason.
