dude is a walking IR list all by himself and you can't count on him in the clutch IMO.  I'm good with it.

Mavericks To Trade Kristaps Porzingis To Wizards

February 10th, 2022 at 1:38pm CST • By Luke Adams

The Mavericks and Wizards have agreed to a major trade, according to reports from Shams Charania of The Athletic and Marc Stein (Twitter links).

Big man Kristaps Porzingis is headed to Washington in the deal, per Stein, while Dallas will receive point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, according to Charania. Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports (via Twitter) that the Mavs are also acquiring sharpshooter Davis Bertans, while Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN says (via Twitter) that the Wizards are getting a second-round pick.

Fuck on the surface this looks garbage but I guess KP's injury history is too risky to pay him all that money. Still a 1st included would have been a nice consolation prize to this swift kick in the nuts we just got. 

[gsoda3 3236]

we're giving them kp AND a 2nd rounder?  what are we doing?

[BallamaticBevo 56]

Also can I trade my KP jersey I bought last season at the Mavs game in for a Brunson one? Anyone know the swap deets?  

[Sgt. Slaughter 2841]

Bertans has an extra year on his contract beyond KP for $16 Mil/yr. Dinwiddie sits at $18M/yr with 2 more on the books. It’s a slight loss on the salary cap situation, but you’re hopefully adding a consistent secondary scorer who stays on the court.

[gsoda3 3236]

we're really going to roll into the postseason with dwight powell and maxi kleber as our centers?

Chriss has been solid

you comfortable with that in the playoffs?  he's been 4th off the bench.  he's closer to playing in frisco than he is seeing consistent time in the playoffs.

[BallamaticBevo 56]

fuck man Luka just made his mind up today. In a few years he'll be house hunting in Denver with Jokic.  

[BallamaticBevo 56]

I love Cubes but dude couldn't keep his phone is his pocket for just 10 more minutes!!!!!!! I wish his daughter would have asked him to film a tiktok around 1:45pm today

[Skipper 6103]

Add me to the list of not optimistic about this trade.   I get we weren't going to get anything "good" for KP.  But JFC.  

[Billy Pilgrim 1912]

I’m sure it’ll work out great, just like the Rajon Rondo, Lamar Odom and Nerlins Noel trades.

[BallamaticBevo 56]

Bertans plays ZERO D and is scared to rebound the ball. Dude just wants to shoot 3's. Dinwiddie is maybe a smidge better than Trey Burke and even he's down the bench now because of Dragic coming in. WTF are we doing???

[Fudbelty 2785]

I honestly don’t know. I was excited to get KP. I honestly just don’t know what kind of players we’re getting back. Being able to be productive and stay on the court seems like it will be a plus.

[Zepol87 9171]

I hope the people that made this trade know something behind the scenes because this doesn't look great. 

[Jive Turkey 12568]

there has to be something else in the works, right?  right?

[Fudbelty 2785]

There’s nothing left to trade. Only other thing being speculated is Mavs signing Dragic after Spurs buy him out.

[BallamaticBevo 56]

I'm also concerned for Brunson and DFS walking this summer and no legitimate FA looking at us saying "yup they are building good pieces around Luka aiming for a championship" We get historically fleeced in trades and sign no one of material significance in FA. 

[conVINCEd 21468]

Meh.

[Post Oak 20183]

It appears they've got more flexibility now and I'm good with it.  

Bertans and appears to be a 40% 3pt shooter so I'll take it. 

I assume they bring in Dragic too.  

The KP contract felt like an anchor who never was going to work out so while he's the best player in the trade I'm happy to be out from under it.

[LurkingHorn 1044]

This is typical Mavs brilliance. Could have signed Dinwiddie in the offseason but decided to spend it on Timmy. Now they trade for him and probably need to dump Timmy's contract. In the end, we still need time to see how this turn outs. In theory, both of these contracts should be easier to move than KPs. But damn, what a backwards way to get to this point. 

[gsoda3 3236]

Positive:
-if we don't sign brunson we have dinwiddie
-i like bertans but he's highly one dimensional

Negatives:
-we have to get out from one of these contracts if we want to sign dodo and JB- THjr, bertans, or dinwiddie.
-we don't have a front court
-dinwiddie is another high usage player. If he's playing next to Luka it means JB is coming off the bench which isn't ideal.
-dinwiddie has been BAD after his surgery.

This trade is worse than the Seth trade.

Good for Dorian. Guy plays hard and worked his ass off

lol we cut moses brown.  so our returns on the seth curry trade are literally nothing.

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

DFS news is good news at least.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

so now only 5 or 6 Euros on the team?

We lost a Latvian but got a Latvian back.

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Bertans gonna end up in Kidds doghouse. Can't play D.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4750]

_avis Bertans was a one trick pony in DC … a very well and overpaid pony.  Shooting 3’s pretty much sums up his game.  Never accused of playing _efense.

Much of the talk on DC sports radio described Dinwiddy as a team cancer.  Maybe it was just something he caught from the Wiz franchise.  They’ve had FORTY years perfecting their special brand of shititude.

I actually liked the guy. He gave really thoughtful interviews and with better health I bet he would've eventually become a fan favorite. Too bad his knees kept him from consistently showing his full range of skills/ 

[Party_Taco 3674]

What the actual fuck man… I would have been totally happy to just sit pat, but we do THIS instead?

[Pato del Muerto 52338]

Uh wtf. Luka has 19 points in 7 1/2 minutes.  5 threes. 

Edited February 11, 2022 by Pato del Muerto

[RexWilson 1341]

Holy shit. I am at the game. Luka up to 28 in the first quarter!

[Pato del Muerto 52338]

28 pt quarter and 3 missed fts. 

[gsoda3 3236]

I guess we know how Luka feels about the trade

[Pato del Muerto 52338]

Lue said fuck this. No more switching, straight trap if he gets within 27 ft of the rim with the ball. 

[Zepol87 9171]

Damn that beat boxing was killing my ears 

[bluto 4883]

Holy fuck you nba refs on that maxi flagrant

[Pato del Muerto 52338]

Refs have been bad all game but calling that a wind up is making things up
