I don't think KP is overpaid at all. Would I rather have Jason Taytum at max money? Well maybe but then that's not really an option I don't think. Lakers are bit of an anomaly having 2 bigger players who play like guards but for the most part you win championships with very good playmakers 1-3.
So ideally you would have some big 2-way playmaking SF that is your 2nd best player. Is it possible to get said player? Maybe but that's not necessarily available atm. I think KP being the unique player he is gives you a lot of things in one package. We saw he could carry the offensive load when Luka was out. The Mavs/Rick will get better at fitting pieces around both Luka and KP to maximize their effectiveness. So I absolutely think Mavs can contend with Luka and KP as their best two players.
