Your anti-Clippers bias is showing, as you’re undervaluing Williams and Beverley. While it is indeed moot at this point, I’ll bite.

Dinwiddie is also (most likely) a free agent after this season. He certainly would have been had he stayed healthy. Is he a solid player? Yes. But let’s be honest, he’s had one really good season in his career, and that was last year with KD and Irving out. Healthy or not, now he’s redundant with the Nets and he doesn’t want to come off the bench.

Williams, on the other hand, is one of the best bench players of all time. Don’t take my word for it, KD thinks he’s a HOFer. As was alluded to earlier in this thread when discussing Jordan’s role, KD’s opinion matters. So with Williams, the Nets would be bringing in the 6th Man of the Year two out of the last three seasons (finishing third the other year), who would give them the scoring punch they want, without the complaining about not starting. His age isn’t as big of a deal since he would be a rental. Kabengele would probably be included, and I wonder if the Clippers declined his option for precisely this type of deal...where a contender can give him a look and potentially clear up some cap room after the season.

Beverley’s salary is about the same as Dinwiddie’s and he’s actually a great fit in Brooklyn. He’s one of the best defenders in the league and will hit the open three. He pairs very well with Irving. And he’s tight with KD.

But whatever, the trade isn’t happening now. The two teams had discussions during the offseason, though.
