They have been trying to trade Kevin love for years. Look at the extent every team goes through just to unload Russell Westbrook. There are other examples, and I suppose it depends on what you mean by “untradable.”
Judging by the mess the Mavs are in right now with Porzingis, I’d say it’s at least much easier to build a team by avoiding overpaid, underperforming players. Sure, you can always move them, but not often in a way that makes you better.
Well in the end... Westbrook has been traded twice. Love I think may get moved again. I'm not saying it doesn't come at a cost. But I don't buy the idea a contract is unmovable.
Also in a future needing to move KP scenario it's only a 2 year deal past this year. That's not even that long if the scenario of KP being so bad or hurt you are stuck with him.
