I think that KP, with his contract, etc., makes the most sense with a rebuilding team. If you're rebuilding, you want to take a flier on a guy who is still young and might one day be worth his contract. You have to pay somebody. If he continues to suck the rest of his contract, then no harm done - he helped your tanking process in the course of rebuilding.
Especially a rebuilding team in a small market that doesn't have the ability to attract premium free agents.
Bill Simmons and Ryen Rusillo played a game on a recent podcast where they took turns "drafting" the best 2 players on every franchise, and San Antonio was dead last. I can't say I disagree ... I would probably take Jonathon Isaac and some other Orlando player (Fultz?) over Dejounte Murray and Derrick White. They're a team of 4th and 5th best players on a contender. They're drafting 12th. They're not gong to get another Lamarcus Aldridge type free agent there in the post Duncan/Ginobli era. How do they get All Star talent there other than to take a buy low chance on a damaged goods player like KP and hope to turn his career around? What else are they going to use that money on? Give Jakob Poeltl a max contract?
