I think the main thing here is you are getting a better top three from a fit, age, contract and health standpoint. In a perfect world where no one ever gets injured. KP is arguably the better player. But, in the real world, Collins is younger, cheaper and has a more diverse and efficient offensive skill set. It is probably easier to find that shot blocking center to put next to Collins.
I think the Mavs would rather put Collins and KP together, not trade KP for him.
