I'm not as immersed as some on the board seem to be, but was KP EVER Batman? Even in Euro leagues? I don't recall anything saying he was and his numbers don't look like it.

So why the expectation (even from KP?) that he's capable of playing as the Alpha player? Sure, his compensation reflects that, but there are a lot of over paid players in the league.
Obviously Luka was and knows how to play that role, to DAL great benefit. He gets recognition for filling that role and will get paid soon. KP is more than a role player, but he's never going to be a league dominant player.
