One thing I was thinking about is relating the KP situation to the bungled Wolves Butler trade which turned out to be worse. Wolves traded Lauri + LaVine to the Bulls to Wolves and Butler never really fit into the Wolves roster. Butler was a bit more publicly sour than KP. Not an exact comparison as Butler was older, better, grumpier and on a shorter contract at the time.
The Wolves only really got Robert Covington and Saric (when we thought Saric was better than he turned out to be). RoCo was in his prime and on a great contract but that's still a pretty small return for multiple time all-star Jimmy Butler.
Again KP is in a different situation, younger but not as good with a long-term deal. I think at the end of the day you will get something good back just like the Wolves got a good player in RoCo back but you aren't going to get a "star" probably unless you get someone in a S&T.
