At the end of the day, Luka and KP will decide, directly or indirectly, whether KP stays or goes. If the Mavs finish the year with a downward slide and Luka or KP are unhappy with the partnership, that’s that. This is a superstar’s league. The Mavs job right now is to help Luka win. The knocks on KP have been injuries and that while he can put up gaudy traditional stats, they don’t seem to translate to wins and often the advanced stats don’t look nearly as good. He’s had some very good individual games recently (last night notwithstanding), but the jury is still out on both questions. I have doubts. I’m not seeing much synergy between these two players very often.
