If you want Kidd and Nico to truly make the decision themselves (and do it in an informed way) then you have to NOT trade KP.
This assumes that you're correct about his problems being psychological.
I do not think they are, or at least I don't think that's anywhere near the main concern. I think 90% of the problems with KP were physical, and I believe anyone who watched him play here last year likely came to their Mavs interview absolutely loaded with opinions about what to do about him.
Doesn't mean they'll trade him. In fact, I think I agree that these changes make it likely they won't.
