Trade KP for the best possible picks and young players. Use the year to develop the young players. Kawhi comes back and you have a young and talented team with two superstars and a bunch of rookie contracts.
Is this a big no because Luka wants to win now? Or acceptable because it would increase the chances to win in the next 3-5 years.
The biggest issue with this plan is getting picks and quality young players for KP. Right now people are excited abut an S&T trade for Lowry, which is a complete salary dump. In fact most folks proposed a Kawhi for KP S&T if we managed to get Kawhi. It's possible that many of us are completely undervaluing KP right now, but most likely at best he is a neutral asset.
