Yeah, I wouldn't dispute that. Seems pretty clear that we weren't his first choice.

True! I still got the overall vibe that maybe Dallas wasn't KP's first choice, but you raise a very fair point about the question that Cuban intercepted. And clearly KP is on board now, so no matter the first impression it's the contract that counts.

BTW, regarding tampering my assumption is that Hypermav is referring to the story that the Knicks accused the Spurs of tampering with KP while he was a Knick.

Yes, and that part probably never sees the light of day.

While that example could be the tampering also some teams according to the media were floored that the Mavs got KP before they had a chance to make the Knicks an offer...just speculation on my part...

True, but what's the tampering in that?

Just my opinion on tampering and I could be wrong...

Why would it have been tampering for the Knicks to deal only with the Mavericks as opposed to making him available to the highest bidder? Knicks idiocy, yes. Tampering, how so?

Only conspiracy theory I can think of is the Mavs made some deal under the table to make sure they don't go to the rest of the league. Otherwise, this would be a MC Shark Tank special where he says the deal is for now, it's off the table once you go to another team, which is perfectly legal.

That's my interpretation as well. Then there was the tweet from Shams or Woj about him potentially signing his QO on the night of the trade. Maybe that was an attempt from his camp to stop the deal from going through.

Doesn't matter though. Sometimes you have to be bold. We got our guy, he signed an extension and now we're 25+% into the season and he still hasn't torn his ACL again. It's all good so far.

Now he just has to stay healthy, stay away from nigerian chicks and stop playing like a wuss on offense.

Was fun seeing him drive from the perimeter for a dunk
Not all just setups by Luka.
More please

He looks so much more decisive than he did even 2 weeks ago. I think the light bulb is starting to come on.

Ha ha! Every response to Andre's tweet is "come to Dallas"

This KP poster was legendary.

I've never seen Andre Drummond get absolutely stuffed like that. KP did that on a 7fter!!!!

Was his best game of the season.

For the next two years all we have to worry about is KP´s health and happiness as Robin. But those are minor headaches.

Imagine in two years, when we have to work out whether Luka or Giannis is Batman, and whether KP wants to be Batgirl. Big Grin
