"With KP" is a pretty absolute moot issue right now. He's as gone as Rondo after his playoffs here was. I'll take Turner way the hell over KP given the differences in their contracts, expectations, and strengths. Turner is a stretch and D center who can be counted on to do both very consistently, whereas KP might be a unicorn again one day but brings pretty little today. Both have significant injury issues, but it's the difference between a guy you just assume to be out sometimes vs. a guy whose next injury could turn him into John Wall without the comeback.

With THJ, it's a matter of signing him to his market value so that you can trade if needed later to improve the team, or making sure you have some sort of bird in the hand before letting him go. Of course, the MBT way is to let him walk and fail to replace him adequately.
