I definitely would not sell low but I expect him to look pretty good in the playoffs, at least offensively. I also really do believe he has another gear both offensively (more aggressive PnR rolling, screens) and defensively than he has shown. The reason I believe that is we have seen a handful of big games where it's clear he is giving full effort and has been good this year. We have seen that Luka gets really hyped for big games and lazy against bad teams. This has been true for many other Mavs players.
All that to say if KP turns in a good playoff performance it might be a great opportunity actually to sell high on him knowing that physically he is going to continue to have issues if Mavs hold onto him.
