I have been saying all season, KP/JB for Murray/Poeltl/Vassell. The return you put is too small for what we're sending out if we could have made a month ago. When you consider how the value of our two guys has grown over the past month, your proposal would be a grand fleece job by the Spurs. Nico has to be way the hell better than that. 

If we're 1) sending out KP and 2) talking to the Spurs, the necessary presumption for the talks to end in a trade is that they're sending out Murray. No consideration of a trade without that. All the moreso if we're sending Brunson. If KP and JB continue to trend as they are up until the trade deadline, then at that point the Spurs can send us that original package I proposed, plus their first this year. In all seriousness. 

I think it's great what Kidd is doing with KP. It has nothing whatsoever to do with KP's long-term tenure here (although the drooling incontinent moron known as Mark Cuban might see things otherwise). It has everything to do to raising his trade value to the point where something good comes back.

I think you are greatly overestimating the value of a KP/Brunson package.  If this is the kind of return we are looking for, we will never trade KP.
