Equal value is in the eye of the beholder but this is encouraging.
Beal is the prize though. I would give KP plus rookies or a pick to get Beal.
Going by the recent market, Beal should bring back at least 3x FRPs and that might be on the low end (young player, pick swaps, help facilitate dumping Westbrook's contract).
KP's value isn't great right now. I'm doubtful the Mavs could break even on what is still owed for him. I'm not sure you could build an attractive package that swaps KP for Beal. Maybe this is just an exercise for Washington to try and keep Beal long term by taking a shot at a buy low candidate.
