KP isn't being moved for anything less than 2 good solid role players. Again I believe that's the FLOOR of any KP trade that the Mavs are looking for. That might not be KP's supposed value to other GM's but it doesn't matter. Mavs set the price. It's up to the other teams to pay.
For that reason, he's going to be in a Mav jersey next season. The real goal this offseason is turning THJ/Brunson/DFS/Maxi from our 3rd/4th/5th/6th best players to 5th/6th/7th/8th best.
So I think you are probably right but that's why I think likely Mavs would be routing pieces to another team like the Pacers for Turner. The Wiz could 'break up' KP into some usable/tradable pieces that then could net something the Mavs want like Turner. If at the end of it Mavs do a simple KP swap for Turner + filler then that's probably still a move in the right direction.
