I think the Mavs might need to trade KP. He played better today but I think they can get better.

Since they just recently signed him to a max deal he is pretty much impossible to trade nobody wants to be tied up for that much cap space for the next three years.  There probably is a slight chance that they could trade him in his final year of his current deal but I doubt they will get anything better in return in that deal.

Russell Westbrook was traded after signing a max deal with more than three years left. For Chris Paul, another max player with three years left on his contract.

Then Westbrook was traded for John Wall a year later, another max player who had three years left on his contact counting this current fiscal year.

Westbrook's former team, the Thunder, had signed his then-teammate Paul George to a four year max in 2018, then traded him a year later. So he also had three years left (though he opted out after the second year to sign another four-year max extension with LAC).

It is entirely possible to trade KP.
