So glad KP is gone!
That was the most overt quote hinting that KP's attitude was weighing down the Mavs behind the scenes. KP in front of the media couldn't have been more professional even if he tried. He never said he was jealous of Luka and was always supportive. Further no one ever made a comment about "jealousy" while KP was here. I suppose the most notable one if we want to define it as such was Luka talking about having better team chemistry over the summer last year, but many (including myself) thought that was a veiled shot at Carlisle and how he treated everyone.
DFS never explicitly said that quote was about KP either, but it's pretty easy to get there if you read between the lines. If so then it's for the best KP is gone and he can finally be "the guy" on his lottery bound team just like his previous situation in NYK.
