Actually the trade is a loss in the big picture. The Mavs paid WAY more for KP than they got back and their shot at star-KP was a fail. So if you think I am "defending" the Mavs you are dead wrong. The Mavs utterly failed the KP experiment.
But...
1) ...considering the circumstances (how KP's value was totally tanked) the Mavs (Nico) did well.
2) ...Bertans has the single most important skill in the NBA, shooting. There is nothing that makes me think it is not coming back. It is not that different as to when we were complaining about Luka early this year. He was sucking (for his standard and even by NBA standards in ways), but we had enough evidence to believe he would figure it out with time. And he did.
