Really my biggest issue honestly is that we didn't put in an injury clause into KP's contract like Philly did with Embiid.https://twitter.com/BR_NBA/status/1218302149706170368
Really wish that would have set more of a precedent for injury-proned dudes. The thought of still holding that contract in 5 years scares me
So me I'm jumping on a trade that's neutral talentwise but hopefully even an upgrade which I would consider KAT. KAT is a better defender than KP is offensive player. In an iniury free environment the defense would make sense next to Luka though I do agree. KP has the potential to be the best defensive anchor in the league.
Not saying I want to just dump KP to dump him. I would have given him that same contract if push came and shove and an injury-out wasn't an option. I just view him as more of a stepping stone to a more consistent performer
Yeah hopefully KAT doesn't start going down the same path
In the previous 4 years, KAT missed 5 games while KP missed 142
