How shocked would he be?

We all saw this coming... his contract holds back putting a real team around Luka.


Saw what coming? Some fake ass rumours as clickbait?

I love how people just ignore that Woj and Shams arent tweeting anything about the Mavs calling other teams regarding KP. The two guys with sources around every freaking team



Na I’m talking about how we all see his contract and his games played and injuries and realize he’s not the answer next to DonLuka.


Dallas is making their calls, don’t be upset . Getting defensive when you should be happy... your team is about to unload more assets to create cap room :)

How concerned a person must be to care about KP after 2+ years of departure. Leave him alone for goodness gracious and be concerned with the Knicks who are going nowhere for any foreseeable future. As for the topic: I don't think KP will be traded.

Tyler Bey dominating the G League. :wink:

They miss Curry's shooting no doubt, but man is this narrative getting overblown. Dallas had to try and do something to help the defense so the move was logical. Richardson then missed a ton of games in the protocol and Curry was going HAM before he himself entered the protocol.

Then Dallas sucked with 5 of their top 8 players out of the lineup and people looked for the easy explanation and blamed it all on that trade. Dallas has its team largely back now and has righted the ship with Richardson playing a key role.

In the end I think it will turn out to have been a mistake and Dallas will regret not having Seth for $8M for 2 more seasons, but horrendous it wasn't. And isn't.

i said we won that trade on the day that we made it. of course, i thought we were getting kd and kyrie.....but we still won.

d rose and a lotto pick for a guy that has maybe 200 games left in his career isnt a bad haul.

I actually don't. I think he is wasting his career with his personal problems. Healthwise and in terms of his private life. However, will he be traded? No. He fits with the team as long as they figure out how to use him.

Sounds like a KP for LMA trade is inevitable.

KP is a diva. Even Knicks fans admitted that when he was in New York.

Mav fans seem to be in denial for some reason

As he should be. Im no body language expert, but he doesn’t look too happy in Dallas from what I can tell. By no means should Dallas trade him for the sake of trading him though. The talent level is for sure still there and he’s still young, albeit injury prone. Mavs would be fools selling KP at 50 cents on the dollar here so I say keep him if that’s all other teams value him at

No, Knicks fans just want him to fail so badly that they forget there are people out there who want him to succeed. It’s been 2 years, get over it already

So if you owned an unprotected pick from a team, are you trying to tell me that you wouldn't want to see that team fail?

Kp made all star once. And he couldn't even play for that because of injury issues

KP has not earned the right to be a diva lol

Anybody know why he is such a negative on the defensive end this season, is it related to injuries? He seemed to have a positive impact on that end last year

He's completely turned it around the last stretch of games. It's all about his lateral movement and he's moving better during this Mavs winning streak

You are right. KP contract is awful. Spurs would need some sweeteners.
