You broke one bad contract into two which gives you more flexibility. Sure. Are you any closer to adding top flight talent next to Luka and putting together a contender. Well, that's the debate.
Why is it a debate? It doesn't appear we were going to get close to championship by keeping KP. You don't seem to be arguing that.
If you have to rid yourself of KP, do it as soon as you can and use whatever you have to re-tool.
As for the bottom part of your post, players change every season. People said Tim Hardaway had a terrible contract when we acquired him. Two years later, he had a very good contract. It was the SAME contract. He's the one that changed. Andrew Wiggins might be another example.
Salaries are based on two things. Performance and projected performance. If the projections are out of synch, it is suddenly a bad contract. But no one know what's going to happen, and every team has this problem at some point. Why complain about it? If Bertans can contribute to the team play, are we not better off?
