2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[cjeter24]

Not me friend.  I think greener pastures are ahead from KP.  He's handled his frustrations as about as well as you can expect off the court.  I just see it like this:

-He's on an expensive contract.
-He has major health concerns.
-Anyone with eyes can see he's not happy (again) and has issues with Luka and Carlisle.

That puts the MBT at a severe disadvantage and it's not like they are great with trades in the first place.  We are going to get taken to the woodshed.

Really hope I'm wrong.

Yeah I agree on all those points... And that's why I think that there's a pretty decent chance he's done here. 
At the same time tho, the best thing may be for KP to be here this summer.

My stance is despite those concerns however legitimate they are, the Mavs won't just dump him to dump him. I also think he does have actual value. 
#1 is a minor concern IMO if the Mavs aren't planning on having cap space. #3 I think can be worked out. #2 has been an issue since he got here. 

KP even on a slightly expensive deal is going to have guys that really want him due to the shooting as a big. Almost everyone has an expensive deal they can make us take on if money is a concern. I think the other teams see #3 are going to be calling. 

FWIW my preference is to trade him in the right deal. I won't be upset if he's back next year if we've made major roster improvements elsewhere.
