It seems like a month or two ago people were trying to say trade KP for Wiggins, Wiseman, and the Minny pick. Now it seems like people would reluctantly do KP for Wiggins straight up.
Was the Clippers series that bad that people are willing to essentially take 33% of the package compared to a month ago?
Two reasons he's got to go now IMO.
1. He is one inevitable injury away from being untradeable for the 3 remaining years on the contract. (John Wall esk) We have one more chance (this offseason) to sell another team on his potential and get back usable players or get space to acquire additional FA.
2. We just watched him get played off the court in the playoffs. Our highest investment in a player on this roster couldn't play without us going zone. Could he come back looking better early next year? yes probably will. But by the time the playoffs come around will he be available and close to 100%? doubtful.
