With better options like Turner, Sabonis, Wood and Nurkic available offers would be very few and bad. The ones I could see going after him are:
CHA (Hayward?); - They absolutely need to address the center position if they want to compete.
SAC: (Hield + Bagley?); - Higher ceiling on a guard oriented team, opening the lane more for Fox/Haliburton.
SAS: (Poeltl + White?); - Higher ceiling on a wing oriented team, would add some needed offense.
Those are probably it. My best bet is we'll keep him for lack of decent offers and try to find a trade of:
Thimothy (unlikely because the morons like his "leadership");
OR
Powell/Bullock/Cauley-Stein (for someone in a bad contract that can at least play some positive good minutes for us).
I was on the Hayward trade bandwagon in the offseason as we could have then signed Holmes and THJ (or something better). That would have been basically trading KP/WCS for Hayward/Holmes. Not nearly as appealing now.
I would pull the Poeltl/White trade in a second, which means the Spurs probably would not. That seems like way too much value for KP right now.
I don't think there is any trade value in any of THJ/Powell/Bullock/WCS. They would all be matching fodder for the only real two assets we have, Brunson and DFS.
