Who in the front office/coaching staff/players publicly outed KP as acting like a cry baby?
I see so many people on here claim shit that they cant know unless they are in the Mavs Organization. THey spit this stuff as fact all around this board.
If people here work within the Mavs Org...why is it such a secret?
KP seems to handle himself very well in interviews. I see way more bitching and passive aggressive behavior from other athletes in interviews and no one calls them babies. I dont get it.
Didn't it come out that he asked for a trade before Rick left? There seems to be a lot of focus on making KP happy and what a good attitude he has this year. The eye test says he looked disinterested a lot of the time last year. But maybe he wasn't moping. Maybe his slow recovery from injury turned him into a shitastic defender for the entire season last year. Either way the point still stands. We have gotten one half a season of good play from him. So far this season in an early sample, he looks much better on defense but terrible on offense. And not just because of small sample shooting, the things he is trying to do in the paint look awkward and inefficient.
I will be curious to see if this coaching staff realizes that his best value to us offensively is as a floor spacer, with occasional cutting and ideally some P&R when there is not someone clogging the lane. If we get to that point, I will be curious to see if KPs defensive intensity remains, or fades like it did last year.
