Look at what we paid to get KP. He's now on a max contract with more injuries and pedestrian play. His value is lower than what we paid.
I think we won't know his value until the trade actually happens which should be this offseason. There are enough desperate teams that I believe there will be a market and if there's a market that means competitive bids.
GSW, Blazers, Celtics are just a few examples of desperate teams and there will be others with either disappointing playoffs or desperate to get into the playoffs. There just aren't a lot of big names on the market so KP will be one of the bigger names that is "gettable." He's young, good counting stats, skilled, injury free for the moment and GMs will say the Mavs/Luka offense just wasn't a fit for him.
