At this point, I think the best comparison for trade value is Vucevic. KP is 5 years younger and has played well enough in the past to believe that he can put it all together at some point, with a change of scenery and coach that works to make that happen.
WCJ - a rookie scale contract on a player that isn't working out for his team, but could use a change of scenery.
OPJ - a big expiring contract on a player that is useful on the court, in a position of need and could be signed to a reasonable contract for his contribution in the coming offseason.
2 firsts from a team that hopes to hit the playoffs soon enough to not worry about draft picks as much.
That to me is the minimum that I would let KP go for if I'm in the FO, and I work to get more than that. Obviously we have to look at the trade value each of those pieces brought and match that with what a team can and will give up.
