Westbrook + Lakers 1st unprotected to Mavs
Irving (+ extension) + Bertans to Lakers
Dinwiddie + THJ to the Nets
Mavs send out Dinwiddie, THJ, and Bertans,
and get RW and Lakers 1st unprotected.
I generally like that deal. (But not those sending away DFS.)
1 It does solve Cuban's tax problem, so I can't see him saying no if offered.
2 It doesn't get Mavs closer to a star to pair with Luka.
3 It leaves the Mavs scrambling in the summer for a 2nd playmaker to replace Dinwiddie and backup Luka (with RW filling that role as a rental through end of season), and they're even farther away from having 3.
4 They haven't done anything to add more 2-way wings, although personally I would see the loss of THJ as freeing up minutes that becomes addition by subtraction in that area.
5 They might have over-MLE cap room, depending on what they do with Wood and Powell.
