1) I personally think both Adams & Bledsoe would be better fits with Luka than KP & JR. So you might upgrade both positions right away.
2) Bledsoe becomes an expiring after next season because the last year of his contract is not guaranteed.
3) Adams is cheaper than KP by $14M per yr and both have some defensive liability in a playoff situation. Adams expires sooner than KP. Adams has been a consistent positive for his teams, helping with rebounding, screen setting, and overall great effort.
4) You get draft capital to either use or pass along in another trade.
Why would NO do this? From a cap perspective they would be worse off. They would have to value KP more than 10 + 35, which I highly doubt.
If they have any interest in KP, I would be interested in a Ball S&T and would be willing to take the Adams contract off their hands.
I don't see this FO going after draft capital unless they already have a trade lined up for it. I believe they are in win now mode with Luka.
