Yes it would be nice to get some value in return for KP but if he isn´t the right player for the Mavs I wouldn´t wait for a big offer that might never come. Take the L and move on.Two things, first, it’s not about recouping what we lost to get him at all. It’s about getting the value he has, you and some others thinks that value is nil, others (I believe including the FO) believe that is pretty high. No fan knows for sure.
Even a pure salary dump (hard to do with limited capspace around the league) wouldn´t be the end of the world. Trade KP (try to attach Burke). Renounce all capholds and decline all options. Go to work with 67.5m in capspace.
Second, the FO, I don’t believe, thinks the way you are. The egg on their face from trading KP for peanuts and then he has a career year and becomes the allstar we all know he CAN be is something they will think about when making the decision.
Bottom line, he really isn’t the demon you and others have made yourselves believe he is.
