That's the point.

But guess who also fits this bill, if we get a "star"-playmaker in this FA.

We have to think like someone, that wants to win - not like we would want to rebuild. And there is nothing out there, that would help us as much as a KP being healthy come playoff time.

If I felt that there was a player available via free agency or trade this offseason (without using KP) that would fit that star mold and give us the convenience of just using KP as an X factor then I would agree but I don't see that name available.

I would almost argue the opposite.  Holding onto to KP makes us a team that is more focused on trying to force a square peg into a round hole and please someone's ego instead of focusing on winning.  Trading KP does not signal a rebuild.  We need to retool around Luka and working to find better skill sets to fit around him I think very much makes us a team that wants to win.

As for the very immediate future, I want the guy to be healthy and ball out in the playoff and contribute to wins like he did last year before going down.  For the long term future next to Luka, we need to build a competent defense and moving KP is probably the only way to do that.
