Such a mess, in a sense. Yes, it's wonderful and fun to see KP playing as well as he had since returning from injury, but how long until the next major one? Everyone here was melting down when he was out with the back, but let's be real; that's not in the same category as the ACL and the meniscus. He might be fine longterm. On the other hand, he may not. It feels like a crapshoot. The bottom line is, the team has to stay competitive this year as well as building for the future. I get the sense that the MBT's view is that KP playing like he is now for the rest of the year is the best-case scenario, unless someone offers them an offer-they-can't-refuse deal. Moreover, I think that they're likely to fall more and more in love with KP if he keeps playing this way, to the extent that they won't trade him for chemistry reasons, and that they turn down offers that every one of us (except maybe Clutch) would take in a heartbeat.
And, of course, the Mavs' historic Murphy's Law luck dictates that he'll be down with a season-ender (if not a Wall injury) the day after the deadline if they do that.
