1) I never suggested he be waived (as if that was my desire). I asked whether that could make sense. It was a question.
2) I personally don't think MK is playing like a $9M player. Maybe a $4.5M player, maybe. He is shooting 32.5% from three, has not been durable, and his rim protection IMO is overstated. Yes, he gets some great blocks, but he is NOT a deterrent like a real "rim protector" is.
3) I am not suggesting moving on from right NOW with the roster as constructed. I am thinking about this offseason and how he fits into the plans.
4) My opinion is that the Mavs trade him in the offseason and retool their big man situation.
