Or would've you rather had him not be locked up akin to Brunson. The same dude most were wary about extending pre-KP trade because he was unplayable against the Clippers 7 months prior?
Don't really like the Brunson comp. Not in the ballpark of what Brunson had showed after 3 years. Most folks were on board with extending him the summer after that playoff. Nobody questioned extending him by the KP trade. We can't extend every young player that comes through here because they might be Brunson. Just have to be better at evaluation.
