Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

well said.  KP was not healthy here so that is the main reason it did not work out.  I mentioned at the time if we traded him at the wrong time, but than we had the WCF run.   

KP wasn't efficient due to his health, but my main thing is we treated him like DFS.   As in, he would get the ball when he was open.   For a guy of KP level, those guys like to touch the ball.   You could feel the frustration when he didn't touch the ball for a few minutes and then launched a 27 foot three when he did touch it.

KP has been great this year and has been a key difference maker.  Now can he stay healthy?  We will see.   The gamble was well worth it for Boston as they look like the best team when KP is healthy.

Isn't KP playing that same way for Boston now though?  That is how he is most useful, and he is doing it in Boston without complaint, unlike here.
