I will say this, I think we have wrongly attributed KP's slow start defensively to his knee surgery instead of his conditioning that was related to the timing of the surgery against the fast start to the new season.
KP's knee surgery was a super common, relatively minor procedure that should not cause any permanent damage to his athleticism. I am actually optimistic now that KP can and should return to form eventually whether its this season or next.
My concern with KP isn't that he has slowed down and isn't recovering. The concern I have is a) that he's injury prone which means more injuries to come and b) that he's going to be high maintenance and not happy with his role on offense. Those two things combined which may or may not come true are why I would trade KP for the right deal.
