Because with his injury history and salary I don't think he brings back anything close to a star caliber player, and I think it's selling low on the asset currently. If we're looking for a star caliber talent to add to Luka, the highest probability is to keep KP and gamble that he hits his ceiling. I like Collins as a potential 3rd best player on a potential Championship team, but I don't think he'll ever be a multi-time All Star .. though he definitely looks like he has reached a new level this year if he can sustain it (contract year breakout??)_Completely fair take.
I do understand that KP is a definitely a very unique player that's kinda hard to build around, because he needs a very unique supporting cast that's not intuitive on face value. But once you recognize the traits and what players complement him, that's a lot of the battle.
I think bubble KP is as good as Luka in all honesty. A 2 way player that can anchor the defense and score in the high 20's consistently. He still has lots of work to be done to get there, but if he can stay off the injury report for a couple years, I think he probably does. Do we want to invest that time and gamble that he stays healthy are the issues I go back and forth on (not to mention his possible debbie downer attitude that the FO would have a lot more insight on).
