I would trade KT if we are not in a playoff rum=n by the trade deadline !!!!! And i would only trade him for a #1 DRAFT PICK !! i realize you might think that is too much to ask for but if he is avg. a double double a team like the LAKERS ( who have no backup PF/C ) the CELTICS, ORLANDO, HOUSTON, MINN & MEMPHIS all have a need for a player like KT & all are playoff teams except ORLANDO so a #1 lottery protected pick isn't out of the question !!!! THINK ABOUT IT !!!!

Agree with your thinking, Snowman. If he keeps playing like he is, there would be interest (we could get younger talent now, instead, and I'd be all for it). KT is at his peak value. He's going to get more expensive and less productive. I'd take on someone who's on the upswing in terms of productivity:cost even if their current stats don't quite match KT's.

teams under the cap can only trade a draft pick for a player.

If it came down to trading KT, I would definitely do that. I would love to make a deal like that to Orlando...

It would have to be a team that believes he would want to sign or extend his contract with, though. There are alot of teams that could use his double-double average.

But that begs the obvious question: why can't we use his double-double average? I'm still not sold on trading the only semblance of personality (save Deke's constant complaining and the occasional three-point celebration from KVH) this team has currently. If we bring in rookies, who are they going to learn pro attitude from? Archbishop Charlie Ward?
