Well done Rick!
Poll: With the current injuries, defensive struggles, and rumors swirling what would you do with KP? You do not have permission to vote in this poll. |
|||
Hold on to him! --- This will pass and he will be an elite player once he can get in game shape and put these unlucky injuries behind him. | 31 | 47.69% | |
Trade him this deadline in March! --- His value is possibly at the highest it will be and the Mavs need to get whatever they can in return for him. | 9 | 13.85% | |
Give him the rest of the season, then trade him this summer! --- Let KP get back and play himself back into shape/health and increase his trade value, but then move him this summer because clearly he is not the right fit next to Luka and with RC. | 16 | 24.62% | |

In fact I wouldn't mind if they sat both Luka and KP for that game. I know we might be getting a bit ahead of ourselves, but the team has shown more than enough without Luka to beat the GSW, and that Lakers game could be massive, especially confidence wise for this team going 2-1 against one of the best teams in the league, and psychologically knowing it actually should be 3-0.

He looks like Gobert on defense and yet has all the offensive tools of a shooting guard and more. Still think Mavs need one more big. Mavs bigs played really well for the most part. Rick again decided to go small late for a long stretch to let the Raps back in it. Maybe if we had one more big he wouldn't do that. Love me some KP.I agree. KP is restarting a young career here in Dallas. He is going to be awesome (barring serious injury) for years to come. We are less than 1/2 of 1 season into his career (take 2) and he is already a force to be reckoned with.

He's pretty harmful to the Team O while playing less than 2/3's of Team minutes. He's pretty impactful to Team D while playing less than 2/3 of Team minutes. It is inevitable he will miss minutes and even when healthy there is need for more defensive help from someone who doesn't trash your O. I think Gorgui Dieng is a really nice fit here. Below are O-Rating and D-Rating for Dieng and our other bigs: KP: 104/105 Powell: 135/110 Maxi: 126/111 Boban: 113/107 Dieng: 115/105 These numbers aren't achieved in a vacuum. The teammates that surround you matter. I discount Boban's numbers a bit because Carlisle only plays him against certain kinds of opponents. I think 18 minutes of someone like Dieng would increase the 7.7 point per 100 spread between our O-Rating and D-Rating when KP is healthy.

They are lineup stats, literally a measure of how lineups have performed when a player is on the floor. My opinion is that it would take a decent amount of research and a good sized basketball brain to extract what pure lineup stats mean for an individual. I'm not saying that they mean nothing for the individual, but I have a lot of trouble taking them to mean what we assume simple numbers mean. Where I do think lineup stats could be useful for folks like us that like to talk basketball: It can be a conversation starter to generate some theories about what's going on with lineups that include KP.

Also use our TE for a deal with Portland (Hood), Chicago (Felicio) or other and get some additional assets along the way. THJ (or Dieng) plus additional players, 2020 pick, 2025 pick and the other assets from above might be a decent haul for a trade for someone like Beal, McCollum or Holliday in the summer. Add a decent experienced vet like Gasol, Ibaka, Dragic or Milsap in the MLE and we might be quite set.

NBA.com stats page is the place to look for the real on/off numbers OR the "Play by Play" section on the basketball reference page.

KP is awesome. Great answers! I think that ends the old conversation about what KP prefers.
