My observation was when I went to the Toronto game in January. He didn't make a three though he was 8/8 on FTs with 18/7. 5 turnovers though. Just was coming up the court and then being stiff.
And the fact that it's now even being questioned that he might not play again this season is the last straw in the discussion. Mavs would be killed in a trade this offseason had KP not been able to come back this year.

Problem is you don't know these things for certain until time passes, so it's still understandable why people (myself included) were upset with the trade at the time.
