I believe this. Carlisle was aware of the risks of fighting that battle. And KP was coming along given the curve he was on coming off the injury treadmill.
Kidd now has a healthy KP and a new philosophy, and hopefully a reservoir of respect that he can lean on to push KP a little. Plus it already looks like there is going to be some give n take. Which I think will be good for KP’s engagement. Carlisle was not the type to give.
Thank you Donnie.
