KL has definitely been a difference maker the last few years. The question is whether it's worth it to maybe miss Free Agency while waiting on him to make up his mind. That would probably be ~$35MM/yr for his non-playing season next year. And there is no guarantee he'll be as effective.
To me the opportunity cost is too high. As much as I'd love to have a healthy KL, there are more productive paths for DAL to pursue.
