For sure. I just think the unguaranteed nature, the size, and being two contracts are all also better from a financial standpoint.
I think the Mavs come out ahead in flexibility as Nico was saying:
1) Financial (less money and more movable contracts)
2) Roster (easier to build a team around Luka without worrying about KP's specific needs/weaknesses)
3) Scheme (easier to play when you don't have someone demanding touches in the post)
All wins in "flexibility."
