He had 66 games twice with Knicks and Suns, 62 games in 66 season games with Knicks.
He averaged 27.7 MPG in his first stint here, so having Haywood helped us a lot
He was fairly healthy there, and if we can get 4 or 5 years of healthy KP, I will be thrilled
Yeah, I was working from memory/perception. Went and read about him after posting. Some of the post-Dallas stuff was other injuries (neck, hamstring, etc.) but he did tweak a knee in 2013.
I agree with the Haywood observation. IMO, he is a forgotten warrior during the championship. He was able to provide quality minutes when TY was resting/in foul trouble/not effective. Given that he was told that he'd be the starter when he signed on, he was the epitome of a team player.
IF DAL can get ~75 games/year from KP, then I think this will be a very successful team. I mean, even Luka is going to get rest days, regardless of what the league says. You can always dress 'em, start 'em, then sit 'em after 5 minutes.
