Dont be silly and sentimental
So this is purely a hypothetical bc neither team is looking to trade their guy but my issue with KAT is that he doesn't play much defense. Considering our number one priority is surrounding Luka with guys that fit around him, give me KP over KAT. You can wish it so all day long but right now it's not even being discussed. RoCo on the other hand...
Yeah kinda moot since I don't see Min trading KAT any time soon. Really my biggest issue honestly is that we didn't put in an injury clause into KP's contract like Philly did with Embiid.
Really wish that would have set more of a precedent for injury-proned dudes. The thought of still holding that contract in 5 years scares me
So me I'm jumping on a trade that's neutral talentwise but hopefully even an upgrade which I would consider KAT. KAT is a better defender than KP is offensive player. In an iniury free environment the defense would make sense next to Luka though I do agree. KP has the potential to be the best defensive anchor in the league.
Not saying I want to just dump KP to dump him. I would have given him that same contract if push came and shove and an injury-out wasn't an option. I just view him as more of a stepping stone to a more consistent performer
