That's the same as saying he is not available. 

Being on the market in the NBA gets you a package like Holiday or Harden fetched, but that's not what the Mavs are looking for. They need a very good player and then some at the very least.

Indeed but when these star players want out they get out (Holiday was a different situation obviously).

To me these are the potential suitors (not confirmed so who knows):

1. Washington would (should?) offer up a Holiday-like all-in package to land KP bc why wouldn't they?
2. GS could offer a Wiseman-based package to exchange a young talent for a win-now player to fit their championship window.
3. Atlanta could offer a package of Collins and other pieces to pair KP with Trae. Even if ATL doesn't necessarily believe this as a long-term fit they could see it as an asset management move.

There could be other teams but those teams those teams were at least linked to the Mavs recently (WS, GS linked directly to KP, ATL only linked bc of Dallas interest in Collins).
