If true I would believe the professional scouts employed by NBA teams will also come to this conclusion.
Hence the Mavs will get pennies back in any KP trade, especially as his contract is massive.
Is Horford and a late 1st going to move the Mavs up the ladder?
I think the first sentence is true but GMs will talk themselves into KP being a good fit for their team. He still had a good offensive season and maybe the Mavs "aren't using him right" or maybe he needs a full offseason where is isn't rehabbing. There is still enough potential and upside that I actually think you are able to sell as high as you are going to be able to sell this offseason.
There should be a market for KP and I don't think it will be 50 cents on the dollar. Maybe a team thinks hey I will get a discount, but thought goes away as soon as they know there are other offers on the table. I don't believe KP is going to yield some amazing Beal-type player but I do think Mavs can get a very good player or set of players that will help this team. KP defensively has been brutal and offensively he doesn't fit. I don't think he is contributing to winning basketball even when he scores like 18 points. I just believe if you can get some good players back that fit and have a good attitude, Mavs will be much better off.
