I'm still pretty solidly in the "trade KP now" camp for two reasons:
1) we don't have a high enough talent quotient right now to survive another (and probably near-career-ending, and certainly career-tanking) major KP injury and have him become an outright untradeable $30M anchor. Let some other franchise with more flexibility take that risk.
2) if JC is our prime target, then you need to get a center who fits with him, which isn't KP. Holmes, another one of our major targets, doesn't fit either.
If JC stays in Atlanta or goes to the Spurs, then of course #2 is moot.
