BE PREPARED

If we trade KP for basically the 5'10" PG who shoots WORSE from 3 than KP (historically and last season) with the defensive upside of Trey Burke, with more questionable knees than Porzingis...I think I will honestly puke. Anyone who supports that trade is a fool...And adding Marcus Smart just isn't worth that for me. After Kemba's last TWO seasons, I'm not sure I'm okay with trying to add him as the "2nd or 3rd" star with KP and Luka.
I know one thing...here's where I'm staying at this point, with the info we have.
I would rather keep KP, hope that this season's lack of lateral movement, and shot blocking was a result of the condensed schedule and coming back from a surgery too quickly, with having no ability to prepare for the season because of the surgery. If he can get his trade value up during the season and we can get someone who is worth a crap at the TDL or, as always, we get a good offer that makes sense NOW, then I'm all for trading him, but this "lose him at all costs" nonsense, is just that...nonsense. This "But Thomas Bryant and Davis Bertans" stuff ------oh my word. Come on, man.
I'm a Mavs fan before either of our stars were born...not a KP hater or a Luka sniffer...I actually like our team, and want it to succeed, and the best way for this team to succeed in the future is for the above scenario to be true, and we really can't know that right now.
Please...just sing the "NONONONO" song for Kemba...that ship sailed a while ago for me.
