I don't take at face value anything MC said. There is always a layer of fact, but it's going to be lathered with all the PR he can spin.

He's talking up KP big-time, but I would bet all of that is tied to the fact that the Wiz haven't cleared KP through the physical. It would be easy for Was to say KP flunked it, if they want to, for any reason (or no reason at all), because it's a completely arbitrary standard of whether KP's health is "what we expected."

That MC is talking up KP so much at this point should tell us that the Mavs are still scared to death the trade won't go through, and were incredibly desperate to trade him. Not the opposite.

That should tell us some things we probably didn't realize about KP's anticipated health, as well as how much the Mavs wanted/needed him on this roster.
