Best Case for DK?

[Skooter]

I think JJ Redick has done a terrible job with DK…trying to turn him into something he is not. He is not just a “corner catch and 3” player. He is a three-level player.

DK would be much better off out of LA.

With that said, DK looks completely lost on defense and that is on him. If he doesn’t figure it out, he won’t be in the league very long.

DK has shot terribly since he started working with JJ on a changed release. His confidence is gone

I agree completely. He looks nothing like the player that entered the league. He has regressed tremendously.

DK better pick it up because he’s currently playing himself into a ticket in the Euroleague.

LA is completely misusing him, but that isn’t going to matter.

Reddick is using DK based on highlight reels and not what he can actually, or does.
LA should shop him around harder, but the problem is you aren't going to get what LA needs (a replacement for LeBron) with just DK...holding onto that rookie contract is easier than dealing that and boat load of other assets away to get what you really need.

Hiding him in the corner for around one catch-and-shoot-3 per quarter is not his game.

I don’t know where, but I have to think he’d be better off out of LA.

When LA traded for Luka, it greatly impacted the needs for surrounding pieces. They need defense-first perimeter players to cover up for Luka’s poor defense; whereas DK is an offense-first player.

I’m a Dallas fan, and given how it turned out (and conspiracy theories are perfectly understood), the Mavs made out like bandits. Luka brings a jaw-dropping game in some ways, but it is not the solid all-around game that wins championships IMO.

Dallas got significantly better. The Lakers have a long way to go. And LeBron might have to go too.

I’d like to see DK get in a situation where he gets 10+ shots per night.

Dallas got significantly better by trading a guy who had just led them to the Finals? Dallas must have won the Finals last year then.

He gives up on all this wacky adventure nonsense and goes back to climbing up buildings and rolling barrels down construction scaffolding.
