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.
Yeah, it really boils down to why KP looked like a statue out there this season.
If it's temporary and can be fixed, well then he's only 25 and still offers the promise we all once hoped for. I can see an argument to underscore the possibility of that view.
If it's a big, sudden decline, and the beginning of him sliding down a mountain, physically, then the offers we're imagining with distaste right now might be the sort we'll be fantasizing about a year from now.
We just don't know. I sincerely hope the Mavs do. I thought Sleepinghero's "optimist vs pessimist" post yesterday was the best writing about the KP situation I've read all season. At this point, I'm content to just let it go and see what the Mavs decide to do.
