Iztok has a comment today about how much effort Kidd has put into increasing KP's confidence, and how it's paying off, with KP looking much more comfortable on the block. He illustrates some of the ATO and quarter-starting plays they use for the benefit of KP. 

All this, while insisting on organizing a KP-centric offense that Luka doesn't want to run. 

Coinkydink? I think not.

I assume this is tongue in cheek?  Cuban really isn't this stupid.  The most likely reason for this behavior is that they lost KP mentally last year and could not trade him for a bag of beans.  So the focus this year is to do everything they can to generate KP value (including protecting him from injury by playing another center and focusing the offense on him) in order to either trade him for something of value, or find a way that Luka/KP can work and both will be happy.  Maybe its working out that Luka is out with injury/Covid and KP can show off dominating Covid teams before the TDL.  I'm just not sure what they can get for him.  Would you do:

KP/Brunson for Poeltl/White?
