Here is what you said:
Quote:I would honestly ask Luka. He knows.
I would ask him, "Is KP a guy you are ready to roll into battle with? Is he capable of helping you to that next level?"
If Luka wants to give it one more season I am ALL IN. If Luka has seen enough, I trade him now regardless of the return.
This is basically suggesting to ask Luka a question; he knows that his answer will affect the future of his own teammates significantly, at least if he has a working brain he will for sure realize that.
That player is our 2nd best player and highest paid player in the team btw.
If this isn't making him an assistant GM to the Mavs, and give him power over the team and his teammates, I am not sure what it is.
So, while I understand your intentions isn't to make him GM, the consequence of what you want is 100% in this direction.

They haven't walked alongside him psychologically through the rigors of the season. 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.
New GM comes and goes every year around the league, and players gets traded immediately all the time.
Kidd and Nico should have the reports on KP from previous regime (including RC and Donnie) and many who worked under them and continue to stay here, including our athletic trainer Casey who should be closer to KP even more than the coach considering his injury issues.
Finley is still here, our zillion assistants should any of them stay will still be here, or at least will be asked questions before they leave.
Suggesting they don't know is for me a suggestion that the Mavs are run extremely amateurish.
