I am using it as some kind of benchmark. I don´t even want to start the discussion what to do with him or if the Mavs should go for assets or win now pieces.
The Mavs gave two expirings and absorbed the last two years of THJs contract (at that point considered to be one of the worst in the league ) + Lees last year.
Overall more than 30m in bad salary in the first year. Another 19m in year two.
They gave up a player that at the time of the trade was one of the better prospects in the league. A lottery pick in his 2nd season.
They gave up two 1st round picks.
At the time of the trade most people were suprised because they thought KP had more value but circumstances obviously matter and the Knicks had to trade him. Knicks-KP relationship was broken beyond repair.
Right now most of us agree that his trade value is approaching rock bottom. Is rock bottom less than the Mavs paid for him?
Just an example of similar value this season (I know some of you love Drummond but it is more about the expiring contract in this case):
KP + Powell ( bad contract) + Iwundu --> Drummond (big expiring) + Okoro (lottery pick) + 2 1st round picks
Fair value? Not enough? To much?
