It's not just a matter of stubborn internal ethics not to trade Klay. It's that we'll never, ever sign a significant FA with Nico as GM again if we trade Klay in-season. That matters, from where I'm sitting anyway.

Yes, this is the biggest problem. Maybe if Klay takes a lesser role with grace, this can work. Kidd is already, to his credit, limiting Klay’s minutes in crunch time (the Mavs should close with Naji on most nights), and the injury weirdly helps. I’d rather have Klay than THJ at least, as my part time shooter, so still an upgrade in the right role I guess.
