I don't think there are any winners here.
Given the fact that Dinwiddie has proven to be an incredibly valued player here and was playable/available in the playoffs (along with Bertans), I think there is a clear winner here.
KP's contract is also horrendous. He also didn't play. Mavs got 2 players that do play on horrendous contracts. 1 team has had more success than the other on both sides of the trade so I think it's not even close really.
Still, doesn't really matter anymore. KP isn't here. Winning a trade is arbitrary and often not really known without years of hindsight.
