You have to pray he has a 30-40 game stretch of playing/being healthy at some point so teams are at least intrigued.
If we take out COVID, he's only missed 13 games (and counting) due to injury. You can't fault a guy for getting COVID and it shouldn't be held against him as some sort of tally on the injury prone mark.
That said 13 games is still a lot out of 55. And despite my defense, KP is injury prone. I'm ready to move off from him, but I don't think he's even in the remotely same ball park as "worst deals in the league". We just saw McCollum, a guard who's 5 years older and has missed a large chunk of time get moved for a relatively decent haul.
