I guess the foundation of my argument at this point is that it will be easier to attain a top 5 offense without KP then it will be to attain a top 10 defense WITH KP. Would love for him to prove me wrong. He's still good around the rim on D but opponents are just going to hunt out Luka/KP on pick and rolls every possession down the stretch in playoffs games and there's not much we can do to mitigate that damage right now.
I´m not denying this. Still think keeping up with Luka/KP in points is easier than prevent CP-Booker/ Dame-wooden chair / Steph-Klay / LeBron-AD from scoring, who- or whatever you put next to Luka.
Not speaking about sometimes Luka obliterating players in the clutch.
Oh and I don´t say there is no chance to improve us by trading KP at all - it´s just such a minor chance I´m surprised how hellbent some people are to trade him.
