So Dallas gets a few surprises before KP ever plays a game for them.
There is the initial injury/rehab question that was always there but now there is also:
- KP embroiled in rape/extortion accusation
I'm not passing judgement on KP or the woman since i don't know what happened, but this type of thing is not what you want to hear about as a fan. Nobody comes out of this looking good regardless of who is telling the truth.
- KP f'd up his hand in a fight (showing poor judgement at the very least for time and place)
You can't tell a NBA player where to spend his offseason but I can imagine Cuban wanting something in KPs next contract about rehabbing injuries in Dallas and traveling with the team to limit the time KP spends getting into trouble around local gangs with jealousy axes to grind.
This might be nothing in the long run. Or it might affect him and other teams may go at that hand. Remains to be seen. But not a welcome development from a Mavs perspective.
- KP supposedly not afraid to use the nuclear option
Might be a lie made up by Mills, but today we heard KP was ready to go back to Euroland. Again, that would make me uneasy as a Mavs fan. Even if it is just posturing on KP's part or an exaggeration on Mills'.
