Kleber’s main value now is to help match salaries in a trade. Aging, stiff, indecisive, and usually injured, he’s regressed to just be a guy who comes into the game to foul. Too bad, a Maxi style player is exactly what the Mavs need.
His complete lack of willingness to shoot is a real problem. I hope he snaps out of it because he still provides value on the other side of the court. I do remember having similar conversations about him early last season, and then he turned out to be very valuable in that late season run when Lively was out (as a center). As for trading him, I'm afraid we would have to pay assets to send him out given his injury history and offensive struggles. We might be better off waiting until next offseason/TDL when he will be an expiring.
