The people who can't or won't wrap their heads around moving him are clinging to an idea that the Mavs can be or should be good SOON. They aren't good, and if waiting on KP to save them is the plan, I don't think they will be good in 4 years, even.
Instead of trying to use him to BUY something that fits the roster better while staying on this unrealistic timeline, my opinion is that they should SELL him for literally anything they can, be it young players (to whatever level he is worth) or picks (of whatever value he can bring). This idea that they'll only remove this absolute anchor from their roster if doing so nets Bradley Beal, LaVine or prime Michael Jordan is folly. Each day that passes makes the mistake bigger and the problem more glaring.
That´s what I have been proposing in the last couple of days but it´s not the most popular move. Swallow a big contract and add some talented young guys or picks.
If they decide to trade him the best way to maximize KPs trade value would be in exchange for a contract that is just as bad or even worse. If KP still has some value try to get some young talent. Some kind of compensation for the lost picks.
Wiggins + Wiseman
Griffin + Bey + Stewart
Love + Okoro + pick
