A challenge for any KP trade is that the Mavs FO will not want to "lose" the trade which in my mind would be any package that doesn't include a player they could sell as a star or at upper tier starter.
Brogdon is a target (but depends on Indy shaking up their roster) bc of his fit and I think it's not hard for the MBT to sell him as a budding star. Even that is a bit of a stretch bc KP still has the name ID and reputation as a star player. Most realistic packages for him do not include a legit star coming back (and how could they?) so we are in a bit of a bind there.
I think a Brandon Ingram trade would qualify and makes some sense if that were to materialize.
