There's some major truth to be absorbed here, no argument.
For me, it doesn't change the bottom line. Either Luka and KP are trying to get this to work, or they aren't. Either they can or they can't. I don't think there's any way the Mavs could possibly choose KP over Luka, do you? Maybe it doesn't come to either/or, and maybe we all just need to be patient as the two of them go off on a walkabout this summer and drink peyote around a campfire together, but if it's got to be either/or, I'm choosing Luka and I'm inclined to get on with it as soon as possible.
You're absolutely right about Luka needing to improve in the area of helping that second guy impact the team, but maybe this, specific combo of personalities and expectations is adding to that issue? Just a thought, because all we can do here is speculate.
