Honestly, I dont want us to trade KP. Its clear he can be a championship piece. Just need to never post him up. Keep pick and roll with Luka and KP. Keep finding ways to get KP the ball close to the basket. Here he is unstoppable.
Finally, we used him in this game as a pivot. Getting him the ball to move the offense up. Luka would throw it to KP for the offense to get further down and he would move the ball back to Luka. That pushes the defense down and get sthe ball quicker and more reliable in the offensive positions we need. We also saw that on the inbounds, Luka would only look for KP, this is a great great way to use KP.
Defensively, he is great again, like the KP two seasons ago. He is blocking and contesting shots.
It is absolutely clear, that KP is back in shape. And when in this shape, and when used correctly on offense, he is worth to keep, also at that deal. The thing with KP is always, can he maintain that shape, can he not get injured? But if he doesnt, he is championship piece, and for that reason it can be a mistake trading him.
