Ya so I worry that Luka/Rick want to just be the Harden Houston Rockets which sort of leaves KP in a spot where he isn't maximized. KP is a guy you should be able to play even when you want to "go small" but I wonder if Rick would rather have like Maxi/Theis types close the games instead of KP.
I wonder if at some point they try to move KP for guard or wing that fits more what Rick wants to do. It's so important now to be able to have all 5 defenders switch and close out in their rotations. KP and many other centers can't do that. We saw Maxi/Melli able to do it. You could find an upgrade for Melli that doesn't cost max money. I just wonder in terms of team construction if Mavs will eventually cash in KP for a star SG (or PG) to play next to Luka (again following the Rockets model).
