That´s the whole point of this conversation. KP is putting up better individual numbers but some of us have legit concerns that they aren´t translating to on court impact. For me it comes down to the defensive end. In my opinion the defensive ceiling of the team is just way higher when KP is on the bench and even his improved scoring numbers cannot compensate for it. I want the Mavs to play a switch everything scheme and that´s not possible with KP. Do I think that the current alternatives Kleber/Powell/Melli/WCS are better? No. Just to limited on offense. But I think that some of the mentioned free agents or trade targets would make a bigger impact on the Mavs.
Also don´t think that this is a completly new topic. Recent rumors just restarted the discussion. List of concerns is still the same. List of reasons why it might be worth the risk as well.
