Sorry if my post came off as a personal attack (truly). It wasn't meant that way, and I like your contributions here a lot. I just think you're choosing (probably on an unconscious level) to look past the obvious with this, specific player. He has not made this team better, especially this season (right after getting paid). That doesn't make me happy, as I was raising the pom-poms when they got him, just like everyone else. I was in favor of the contract extension, too, just like everyone else.
I don't consider myself "anit-KP" at all, I'm just reading the situation. He does not play hard, especially on defense. To me, that means either A) he doesn't like his situation here, B) He still hasn't gotten completely healthy (if not, will he ever?) or C) his injuries have permanently sapped him of the foot speed, quickness and agility needed to affect the game on defense. Personally, I don't care if he's healthy for the playoffs, because outside of the very occasional amazing offensive performance, the team is better (imo) without him. Now, I could be wrong about any of this, but I 100% promise you I'm not sitting around hoping that KP will continue to play poorly so that I can be right about something on the internet. I REALLY think this entire KP thing was a mistake (with the benefit of hindsight - this isn't an "I told you so") and will hold the team back until it's resolved.
