Right, the team as a whole wasn't transformed but a significant piece was removed.
The data suggest this MIGHT make a huge difference:

So the data suggests that the Mavs without JR this past season were REALLY good. Of course, it may not be as simple as removing him, BUT removing COULD get the team a good chunk of the way to where they need to be.
P.S. I still 100% agree that KP is the elephant in the room that we all need to watch.
