Allen is RFA and Brooklyn is already deep in tax. They are in tax for next season even without Dinwiddie and Allen and just with 9 players on the roster. Since they were starting Durant and Irving buddy Jordan in front of him (I see Allen was starting this one for the first time this season), it didn't make a lot of sense paying large money for a back-up. So it makes most sense to trade him and find a cheaper back-up center.
Wise decision, of course, would be to dump DeAndre contract somewhere and make Allen your starting center.
