It did work when he was healthy. Remember when the Mavs were beating the CLippers with KP?

Clearly he also wasn't used properly considering how he's doing in Washington.


What is he doing in Washington? His numbers are almost identical, the only difference is his better 3pts %, which is more function of playing with less pressure in lottery team than anything else.


Identical? His 2pt% is also up and he's taking more FTs, which means that his efficiency is way up.


His efficiency is way up because difference between shooting 28% for 3 or 38% is huge. All other numbers are much closer.

Interesting enough, Wizards' D is much better when he's off court.

I find it hard to believe Rick didn't know how to utilize him, he was healthy in 2021, Luka was bad and he failed to shine, unlike Brunson who delivered.
I'm not going to argue value, I agree with you, Nico/Cuban panicked and sold low.


KP would have worked, if he wanted to give everything in D. He never did. Mavs didn't need his not efficient enough points but rim protection. In the end they have to pair him with Boban to not be destroyed in the paint by Clippers.

Yeah, he's not providing that in WAS either, he's mainly focusing on offense.
If the Mavs didn't have elite offensive guard he's good enough as 2nd option, wih Brunson and w/o Luka, Mavs were decent, around .5 team.

People are seeing KP as perfect fit, because he looks like perfect fit, unfortunately he plays more like 3 than 5.

There',s talk Luka's not being liked by teamates(McGee,Wood,THR)...is there some truth in it...i'm sure they are bothered by his whining and not trying on D,but otherwise I didn't see anything that would suggest more to it...any thoughts...truth,rumors,something in between??

Bad decision to go for the 3 on a fast break when everyone is ice cold

So far so semi-decent. Powell might take care of himself with foul trouble. Now just a shame we play Bullock and THJ over Hardy.

9-0 run by the Sixers answered by 10-0 run by Dallas.

Would be awesome if Bullock played some defense and hit a shot here and there.

So coming out of halftime - in a lineup with Kyrie and Luka - we have Bullock bring the ball up and pass it twice, turning it over once and getting it deflected the second time. Amazing.

One might think this could be a good time for a challenge but no.
