Kuzma is the piece that helps you trade KCP... He's not the straight trade piece...
Kuzma's value comes from the fact he's on his rookie contract, and teams know, despite his shortcomings, he's going to be worth a whole lot more... So trading for him now, gets them first shot at defining that future.
KCP is overpaid but serviceable in the right role, but you wouldn't trade for him unless you were getting something else you wanted too...
Basically, I think there's only one realistic (you decide how realistic) trade for either KCP or Kuzma... That's both of them for Iggy.

Can't happen until the Dec 15th tho... And Iggy is way over-paid right now and that's a whole lot to give up for him... And despite all that, he'd pretty much have to threaten to retire to get Memphis to accept that for him.
KCP and Rondo have defacto no trade clauses.
Yes they do, which doesn't mean they can't be traded. It just means you have to convince them.
