Mavs 107, Kings 121

[Kammrath]

But if they can't get it figured out, they'll be forced to trade KP. I don't think they're likely to get equivalent value for him, so I look for them to continue to try to make it work, at least for one more season, unless something breaks for them trade-wise.

If Luka and KP do not turn a magical corner in 20 games, then the Mavs HAVE to trade KP this summer. I think the Mavs lose MORE as a franchise by holding onto him one more season on the treadmill of mediocrity then biting the bullet and getting less than they think he is worth. 

You might be right, but suffering through another season of crappy chemistry as a fan sounds as fun as self-mutilation. I am really not sure I could watch many games next season if the Mavs stand pat......UGH.
