I am over it. I think there's only downside from here on out. Dude is a loner, defense is getting worse, injury concerns are mounting, fit in the offense just isn't there. Mavs will get more trading him now than trying to make it work one more year.
He is really 1 big injury away from becoming virtually untradable. The best news right now is that he doesn't have an injury so GMs could talk themselves into a summer of conditioning, etc. to get him back to the "old" KP. I picture him being more like late career Aldridge, who became a major liability on defense and KP is much less efficient than even late career LA.
