1) I am on the record saying the Mavs SHOULD trade KP this offseason. Unless KP starts playing a two-man game with Luka regularly and well then my opinion will not change.
2) Even if they choose to keep KP, they desperately need an elite roll man next to Luka.
3) RH has the feet and athleticism to guard on the perimeter better than KP can, so RH can functionally be the "4" on D.
Yeah, I guess we just have different priorities. I'm not convinced having an elite roll man is any better for Luka offensively than a 5 out situation as long as all four guys provide decent spacing. I think Maxi is working really well as a complement big to KP, and my bigger concern is the wasteland behind those two guys.
To me, the spot we really need to upgrade on the starting lineup is DFS. Not only is he hurting us on spacing, but we really need somebody that can play make and ideally create for themselves a little bit to finish with Luka and lead the second unit. The are some guys that can fill that role in free agency, but unfortunately they are all in their 30s.
