That is really the only thing that matters. Of course, his bloated salary is still an issue if that net plus is a small number....BUT him being a net plus at least makes the contract tolerable and the team should be VERY competitive.
Last year KP was -6.9 on the defensive end. This KILLED the Mavs last year, just KILLED them. In two games (small sample size theater!!!!) this year he is +13.6. Of course his offensive impact has been an ABOMINATION this year (shooting 33% and 23% from three doesn't help), but the strides defensively are super promising.
