There is way too much concern with getting "value" in return for KP imo.
Moving KP is a signal that we don't think we can build a championship defense around him and that we don't know how to utilize him as a second star in our offense with Luka (part Rick, but mostly KP for not knowing how to abuse smaller wing defenders because that's how Rick would have used him if he thought it was worthwhile).
This isn't about getting some second star in return for KP anymore, it's about resetting the engines and admitting we went down the wrong path initially. From where I'm sitting, everyday we have 31 mil in cap tied to KP is a day we're further from contention and that should be the first thing addressed.
Also, Bertans contract looks bad but we're also talking about paying Hardaway the same for the same exact skill set and it's also HALF of what we're paying KP. If our worst contract is paying an elite shooter 16 mil then I think we're in a pretty good spot to be honest.
