He's done here and I think everyone there knows it internally. He's just a poor fit on this team. It's clear they don't have faith in him and he doesn't have faith in the coaches. If he's not a guy who can be counted on to create offense then there's no point. Too many possessions where the offense is stale, even with Luka in the game, and KP is just being used as a floor spacer. We're not paying him all that money just to be a stretch big.
But then when they do try to run offense through him, he doesn't have much to his game besides those fadeaways in the post.
I'm not sure how effective he can be in today's perimeter-based league (ex: can he still be a #1 option/MVP potential player he was hyped up to be in NY in 2017). However, it's clear he needs an offense to be based around him. As a #2 or complimentary player, it's just not the role for him.
