I can name 6 teams right now that'd kill to have KP on their team. GSW/POR/NOP/PHX/CHA/BOS are just a few. All those teams are dying for consistent 3pt shooting and a stretch 4/5.
And that's before bringing in the out of nowhere fits like WAS/ATL/SAS/IND/TOR
That's 11 teams right there, 6 of them that make a lot of sense too (GSW/POR/BOS/WAS/ATL/NOP).
However, I will end with what I always end with any KP trade discussion; it doesn't matter/waste of energy because the Mavs are not going to trade KP.
I think the league is past the point where counting stats determine a players trade value. We talked about his defensive short comings. Mentioned the questionable fit on offense and it´s not like those problems are some kind of secret otherwise other teams wouldn´t target him in the pick and roll or switch smaller defenders onto him.
But all of that doesn´t even matter. KP missed the first nine games of the season. Since his return he has missed 13/53. A max player that cannot stay healthy is not a good trade asset.
I agree that the Mavs probably won´t trade KP. There simply is no market and they don´t want to gift him away.
