We were all excited about KP when the trade happened and during his rehab. Most of his best play has come when Luka was hurt. Maybe the pairing just doesn't work but I certainly don't love the lack of creativity in our offense in deploying the Unicorn. The trade ideas are fun and I kind of side with the "part ways" camp mostly due to how injury prone he is.
I just think most of you are suffering from "Grass is always Greener" syndrome. It's like we have these two camps that drastically underrate KP or drastically overrate him.
In all of these trades, you'll be on the short end of the stick short-term and probably long term for what you'll get. Wiggins...come on. Wiseman...meh-be...
Do I feel stuck right now? Yes, but not stuck enough to sell incredibly low on KP. I doubt seriously that Donnie and Cuban have shopped him adn still feel that is some rival agent or GM trying to muddy the waters to get a deal by driving his price down...that's more about someone seeing an opportunity, to me, than actual reality.
I would much rather stick it out, see what happens and then, if we are trading him, do it in the off-season...and hope his value goes up some, now that the Mavs are playing better, everyone is healthy and he's actually getting his legs under him somewhat.
I'm completely bought in on just leaving it like it is and seeing where we end up at the end of the season. Outside of a major injury, I don't see his value dropping much more, and in all likelihood, it will increase. If we had traded him right out of the bubble last year, no telling what we could have gotten for him...but right now, no.
