Good question. The report was that RC left even though Cuban wanted to give it one more try. He wasn´t fired because of KP and I don´t think he left because he refused work with KP or change his role.

There is nothing there...it's just KP haters wanting to find a way to blame and hate on KP more.

Headline:  KP saves child from drowning
Mavs Twitter:  KP steals work from the Grim Reaper...KP is trying to make the Grim Reaper's children go hungry.

People just like to say things like "its becoming clear" to make themselves look smarter and more perceptive than everyone else.  They never get held accountable if it's wrong and no one will actually be able to ever prove it yes or no, anyway, so they get to be the mysterious expert, and in this case, crap on KP once more.

One part of KPs frustration with the Mavs has got to be his role in the playoffs. But we got to give some credit do Ty Lue, he put Kawhi on KP with the sole purpose of stopping the Luka&KP PnR. Luka was hunting switches with Zubac(DFS the roller), and defenses weren't helping that much. That's the reason KP was "camping" in the corner. Luka was just simply in his Hercules/semi-god mode and you don't take the ball out of the hands from a player who's on fire like he was... I mean he almost won the series against the best team in the west last year(that's just my opinion)
  Let me also say something about the Luka&KP PnR/PnP. I think that part of the Mavs offense is very underrated by the fans. I know that we aren't seeing many KP dunks and alley-ups and so on, but simply the gravity that they produce is huge(I think that @"Kammrath" can back me up here - maybe he isn't best in PPP, but that also has to do with Luka, he can, and is willing to find every open man). Luka is a PnR maestro, we all know that, but KP also plays a big role here. Simpy the fact that you have a giant who can shoot threes and role to the basket and demands much attention. Help defense needs to make a step closer to the roller/paint, and Luka simply finds (almost) every crack in the defense. The gravity that a player produces is much more important that his stats, and KP has that. Can he play better? Of course he can, much better, but sometimes the stats don't show everything.
 Defense was mainly his lack in confidence in his body/knees. Sometimes it was very obvious that he was avoiding contact. I can see him getting his confidence/trust in his body back, with a full healthy offseason.

I'm happy the Mavs didn't trade KP, first of all, he hit rock bottom value, and second, he has roooooooooooooooom to improve. We don't need the Knick version of KP, we need a new, more mature KP, who plays to his strenghts(and knows them), and more important, knows and accepts his weaknesses.

MacMahon and Windhorst are two people who are blowing the MAVS are disfunctional horn the most. I hate that superficial stuff where they just say things like he looked at him the wrong way - TROUBLE IN PARADISE???

although...I will  say....my analysis of this post is that Kam just used some VERY AGRESSIVE gif body language towards me!

McMahon is just still trolling us with his KP gossip once again...last year he kept claiming Luka and KP hated each...we found out then he was trolling for clicks...just want to know why he is targeting KP and stirring up crap 24/7...

He has to make "educated" guesses since this probably doesn't happen much anymore.  He is really only about the wedge issues at the Mavericks.  I can't remember him just writing about the Mavs without some twisted angle.  Maybe he does, but he has not left me with that impression over the years.

I am more eager to hear some vaccination status news about the team. If the rate is 90 % so far, there is still a lot of unwaxxed players around the league.

And the danger we may have a "dumbass" on the roster.

Media day tomorrow! That means new tweets and articles!! 

Let's go Mavs!

RE: KP playing PF

This explains roster construction. Mavs must have been planning this for awhile.

Reddit thinks Trey Burke, with the stuff he posted on social media. The same poster was also right about JRich ...
