Yikes.I mean, sounds like he's been airing it out to at least the coaching staff (probably the FO and maybe Luka too), after we heard some of the rumblings, things did change a bit.
I am inclined to move up my prediction of a KP trade to this trade deadline. This kind of passive aggressive in-fighting cannot be sustained for long without addressing it. I am not sure the Mavs can wait till this summer.
I think the issue is Luka is all or very little. When he doesn't have the ball in his hands creating, he's not doing much, or just running through the play to get the ball back in his hands.
I'm going back to if this isn't some growth that Luka establishes soon, getting rid of KP might be looked at as he doesn't need to change. If you get in a tiff with your teammate, we'll ship them out and stick up for you. I will say, RC echoes the ball movement thing in many post game interviews. Is he being passive aggressive?
I also want to say, I'm not sticking up for KP in doing this (IF this is indeed a "thing"), he is in the wrong too.
