Why didn't they just split it like they did in 2000........I thought that would've been the obvious way to go but i guess not.

And I doubt KD would still put up 20ppg in Al's situation. Playing behind Joe Johnson, J Smoove, & Bibby........with Marv & childress still contributing.... He would maybe get 15ppg, 4 apg, & 2-3 rpg. Meanwhile, If Al was in Seattle I would project somethin more like 16ppg & 10-11rpg..........KD's #'s are good, i'm not trying to take away from him, but Al deserved some props too for stepping in and and helping Atl get to the playoffs and for contributing alot to a team while being the 3-4th option offensively. Dude didn't pout or complain, he stepped in the made the best of his situation.

If Al and KD traded places I don't even know if Atlanta is able to make the playoffs. But that has more to do with what the team already has than it has to do with the two players abilities.
