He is the most important player in the entire league for a team to keep happy. He may be a 22-year-old immature kid, but if he says "KP is garbage and I don't want to play with him" - whether for on- or off-court reasons - then that's 3:16 and we're done here. The FO seeing it any different, *if* that's what happened, would be a binary and very dangerous error.
Duh. That's beside the point.

Luka has a high usage rate, doesn’t seem to want to play off the ball for long stretches, and expects others to fall in line. But KP is more talented than others on this roster. Is it wrong for him to feel he is not being used correctly? I don’t disagree that KP’s personality when that happens is that he tends to pout and Jack up bad shots. But maybe we are looking at the symptoms than the cause?
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
