Does anything else even matter? This is about Luka being happy and being the franchise player. Watch his next interview. Watch how he plays going forward. Luka was not happy with KP both on or off the court. We may have got worse on paper today………..but today we are a better team
KP had negative value. Any “defense” he played those few plays over the last few years was a mirage. All he was was a maxed out 3pt shooting 7 footer and couldn’t even do that this year
Luka needs to be in shape and not hog the ball too. Fantastic talent but the team already move on from their GM and coach because of him. Now if you say it is KP today, who next? At least KP was always in shape and didn’t seem to carry any flab. So maybe Luka needs to follow some of KP’s off court routines?
KP’s defense last year was poor but he was coming off an injury. This year he was much better. Plus offensively also he was moving much more without the ball. His numbers prior to his injury was really good.
What should have happened is we get a rugged PF to complement KP but what happened is we focused too much on his weakness ( not enough strength down low). Let us see how this team does going forward. I am all for teams that play together and not just be focused on names but our defense did not get better today. Our overall talent did not get better today. Our draft situation did not get better today. But hey KP is gone. So let us rejoice.
His value is mainly affected by his injury history.
