I think the smoke around GSW, ATL, WAS has this in common: They are all...
1) underperforming teams,
2) desperate to win now for various reasons, and
3) have young talent to expend.
I think that is exactly the kind of team that will trade for KP. I think the Mavs are far better served aiming for young talent/pick in return for KP than an actually developed star (market for that is stupid inflated these days).
Question for you @"DanSchwartzgan": What is your gut feeling on the timing of a KP trade if it were to happen? TDL? Summer? Next TDL?
Also similar analytic driven front office philosophies. The Atlanta GM came from Golden State's front office. The current Wizzards GM was promoted up from his previous position as head of their analytics department, and they plucked two high level front office personnel from the Clippers to put underneath him. The appeal of KP for the Hawks makes sense that they also apparently highly valued Gallo ... that's what KP has always been to me (at least on office), a taller Gallo.
