Kristaps is one of the worst efficiency guys in the league when receiving the pass which isn’t optimal when your superstar’s main skill is getting guys passes

Yeah but you keep reminding us of only his shooting % and never mention how he impacted the mavs defense this year.
He was definitely a key part of the defensive turnaround.
We all know he was struggling with his shot this year just like several other top heavy rotation players on the team.
But he also became more aggressive at attacking the basket which is why his percentage of FT attempts increased and his playmaking ability (passing) was very good.
At the end of the day we all understand he was not living up to the contract.
But don't try to sell us that Bertans and Diwinddie are better options.
I like Dinwiddie. In fact I mentioned last offseason the mavs should have went after him in FA but KP is still the better overall talent he just wasn't available enough.
