His playoff usage last year was basically the same as his current. Not like he is getting more touches. Still has to share the ball with Randle and Barrett. Not to mention that the Mavs gave up DFS, SD and a 1st to add a player that plays a similar score first high usage role.
Agree that he probably wouldn´t have stayed anyway but that´s more about the way the Mavs handled things in the month leading up to free agency.
