"the future MBT needs to avoid betting the farm on another KP-like trade just because Coop has so much potential" --- Everyone agrees that the Mavs need to avoid another KP mistake.
But the problem/reality is that a KP-like trade is also the very thing they should pursue IF they could get get the right "KP" (young, all-star, all-NBA potential, seems to perfectly complement the star you have and fill major needs, wants out of his team). Find the young running mate. Lock him in. Grow together.
Hopefully that guy will be the one they pick in the draft. But however they get someone, it's gonna be uncertain. No guarantees.
