If -- as some have speculated -- KP has indeed requested a trade behind the scenes, what do we think of the Bulls as a trading partner?
They could use a guy like KP and have some assets the Mavs could use to win-now, all while adding to their war chest of yound players on Docnic's timeline.
KP + Johnson + Powell + Iwundu --> Bulls
OPJ + Young + Markannen + WCJ + 1st --> Mavs
OPJ is expiring; Young is as well plus he's your starting C for the playoffs; One of Markannen or WCJ is your young player with upside (similar to DSJ); The other is equivalent to a first; and the 2021 Bulls pick satisfies the general construct that brought KP to Dallas in the first place (expiring, young player, 2 firsts).
On the Bulls side they get KP and take on Powell's money and a rotation player similar to the Mavs taking on THJ's perceived bad contract and Burke.
