I think a lot of people have gotten so irritated with him that it's literally more emotional than intelligent right now. I'm reminded of a quote...from all people, Jerry Jones. "Don't let your money get mad." The meaning is to warn against talking yourself into emotional driven decisions that are not factually smart...and I think that's exactly where a lot of people on this board are with KP.
Thing is that the other side of the argument feels the same way. Well...at least I do. I think a lot of people are still enarmored with the idea what KP could be and refuse to accept that he simply isn´t the player we wanted him to be. If I would tell you that I would like to get rid of a player that misses 1/3 of the games each season and has the worst net rating among rotation players most people would agree with me. But not in KPs case.
Same thing happens when we talk about his role on offense. People are mad about THJs iso/midrange attempts but want to see more of them from KP who has similar or even slightly worse efficiency numbers on those attempts.
It really comes down to the individual. If you rank KP based on his performance in Dallas it makes sense to move him. If you are out on him because of the injury risk you probably want to trade him at all costs. If you think of him as a young and talented player with a lot of potential you obviously want to keep him.
