Sounds a lot like Oladipo, Hayward or Walker. Just need to scroll trough this thread to make the case against him. Only advantage he has over the mentioned guys is age and upside. That´s probably worth an extra 1st in a trade.

Say KP gets back to playing like he did numbers wise at the end of last year. Would you be willing to include him in a trade for Beal?

KP and Brunson to Chicago

for Lavine and Wendell Carter Jr

From Chicago's perspective, my guess is Lavine will leave Chicago in free agency in the summer of 2022.  KP is locked up through the summer of 2024.

Chicago's starting lineup:

Brunson
White
Markkanen
Williams
KP

I'm assuming they'll be a lottery team and as a result can strengthen their roster with their own 2021 1st round pick.

From Dallas's perspective, Lavine will be our Robin.

Dallas' starting lineup:

Luka
Lavine
Richardson
DFS
W. Carter

Burke
THJ
Green
Maxi
Powell

Johnson and WCS rounding out the bench.  Terry, Hinton, Iwundu, Bey, and Boban completing out the rest of the bench.

I would not be opposed to adding draft capital to complete the trade or some of our young assets in Terry or Green.  Your thoughts?

We have one of the best young stars and a real posssibilty that if this continues he might force a trade in a couple of years. Go big in terms of doing it right.  The Lakers showed you can win with McGee and Dwight.  Target cheap strong veteran bigs. But for Luka’s running mate target a big guard who can shoulder the PG load for long stretches.  That’s why I would see what it takes to get Lonzo. Valentine is also a good choice but I like Lonzo’s defense a bit better. 

Either way folks like Bledsoe and Reddick IMO are not the answer.

At this point I am so low on KP, I am not sure this is a fixable problem (we will see). I doubt Mavs move KP any time soon but they have been aggressive in their moves since Luka got here so who knows.

A LaVine + WCJ for KP is a pretty fair swap given that LaVine will be leaving the Bulls one way or another before his deal is up. Bulls would have to hope that they fix what's wrong with KP. Mavs would look great with those two.
