BRUNSON BURNER: to NYK for 4yrs/$104M (no SnT) | NYK docked 2025 2nd for tampering

[cow]

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.

Dinwiddie was great in the regular season and mostly bad in the playoffs.  Bertans in the playoffs was out of necessity and not choice.  And those two plus the pick are the knock on effect of blowing the KP trade in the first place and leaving our cap situation in such a state that those same Knicks will sign away our ne best player and probably improve the draft position of the final pick we owe them.  Maybe they did win the trade.
