That is all true. But did anyone actually believe KP will play like 90 % of games each season? I think Mavs knew what they were buying and risks associated with it. The problem is, that he is not a "30/15" player when he is able to play. Problem is he needs half a season to get to that "30/15" level (season 1 in Dallas, remains to be seen this season). Assuming he is not traded and Mavs actually make it, I think his value will be set by how he performs in playoffs. If he will be the best version of himself, the value will be high. If he is meh or injured, his contract is Wiggins level, imho.
