The idea of splitting KP into two smaller contracts isn't terrible if you execute it the right way. By doing that you are saying that flexibility to make moves over the next couple of years is worth the downgrade in premium (if oft injured) talent to overpaid inefficient role players.
The problem with that strategy is you need assets to attach to those contracts and not only did you not extract any...you actually gave one up.
They needed to pull a FRP or Deni or Rui or Kispert and/or pull the Knicks into the deal and get an asset from Washington to them that nets that Mavs their own 2023 pick.
This FO is clearly still 100% cubes driven and as long as that's the case we will continue to see the Mavs refuse to evolve with the times and place actual value on picks (EVEN 2nd ROUNDERS!).
