The Mavs have one world class player. All-NBA+. How much of a 2nd star is necessary? Not going to get one as good, at least not easily, so that 2nd star is going to be a lesser-star. I think part of KP's issue, other than injury, is the measuring-up to Luka. KP doesn't measure up to Luka. He went from co-star to 2nd banana in the eyes of the paying customers. How does KP deal with that? He's the Unicorn, but he's not playing like the Unicorn. Is the injured KP the permanent KP? KP is that 2nd star if he gets back to what he was, if he can subjugate himself to fit into the Luka Show and not insist on "his touches" and that sort of thing. Take sort of an, I'm 7'3", if I want the ball, I'll go and get it off the glass, sort of attitude. I don't see a trade for a 2nd star coming. It had better be KP, if he'll take the role.
