KP is a unicorn (truly...and he thinks so as well) who should have a team built around him. That's not going to happen with Luka on the team. Who do you trade? I trade KP in an instant. Luka can be a cornerstone for a championship team...but the coach(es) need to get a handle on him NOW...and get that cornerstone firmly embedded in a worthy "team." I frankly wonder what the coaches are doing...year after year...
And finally...your point #8 is something that has irritated me to no end for the last 12 years or so. Maybe expanding the playing rotation would be a radical new approach...
I would bring a different coach before getting rid of KP.
As much as some want to hate on KP, he is clearly the most talented young player they have had other than Luka, since Dirk. Do you trust this front office to replace KP with comparable talent?
Plus RC had one mandate this year. To figure out how to get Luka and KP play off one another. If they had tried and failed it is one thing. I don’t even see two man plays. It is Luka doing his own thing and asking KP to figure out how to get his points. I know many will say that KP has deficiencies and that RC must have tried in practices. My answer is any Robin you get here will have deficiencies. Also practices are not the be all/ end all. I just haven’t seen a concerted effort by the coaching staff to have a 2 man game.
Even if they didn’t make the playoffs because they lost games going through the pains trying to make it work, I would be fine. What did we gain this year? It has been a total waste.
