HOLY KRISTAPS: All Things Porzingis | TRADED to WAS

[Mapka]

The bottom line on KP

Throw all speculation of any kind aside. This is the ONLY thing that matters when assessing the question of whether to keep KP or trade him: his fit with Luka on the court.



The Luka+KP net rating ranks the Mavs as 14th in the NBA. 

The Luka rating without KP (+6.1) ranks the Mavs 3rd in the NBA.



So the bottom line is this:

• When Luka and KP have played together this year the Mavs have been a fringe playoff team or lottery team.
  
• When Luka has played without KP this year the Mavs have been an elite contender.
  

What does a 1.1 point net rating make them?

I´ll say it happily again: every stat is skewed this year, every single one. And the ones for the Mavs are doubled and trippled skewed.

I´m fine if you tell me KP was bad just after his injury - I´m fine if you tell me he looks not happy or wants to be involved (he should want to be) or him being injury prone.

I´m not fine with making players plus-minus a conclusion.

Sry if this sounds harsh, I might be a little triggered by some knicks fan trolling us against KP and pulling so many people on his side
