I don't think there is much truth to any of this either but I do think KP is frustrated and justifiably so. A combination of having to fill the Robin role, mounting injuries and how he's being used by the coaching staff. I think he's said all the right things publically and that's admirable.
Trading him now is a gamble. The Mavs will never return the value the spent on him and that's not a knock on the acquisition. Setting aside the injury concern, is he trending more towards Bubble KP or the opposite direction? I still can't imagine the Mavs not wanting to see how he looks the rest of the season.
If he stays or if he goes, I think it's time to part ways with Carlisle this offseason. For a rebuilding team, he just isn't malleable enough to get the best out of what he is given and has way too many player conflicts for my liking. This would be doubly true if we trade KP and he starts to look like an all-star again.
