100% correct. 

I think what you are hearing from me and others is a simple belief that moving on from KP may be the single most important thing for the franchise, regardless of the return. It should also be noted that Wiggins increased his value IMO as the season played on....whereas KP's value was tanked (possibly) by standing in the corner in the playoffs. 

Look, I am open to keeping KP into next season to give it another shot with another coach....but I don't WANT that.

Here's a conundrum given your known likes and dislikes.  Say we spent our cap space well.  Fill in whatever guard/wing you are hoping we add next to Luka.  We did it for $22mm and still have $12mm after JRich opted out and we declined to TO on WCS.  GS wants to deal for KP, but they are only offering Wiseman and S&T Oubre.  KOJr. has to make $16mm combined with Wiseman at $9mm to trade match KP, but that adds $6mm to cap room.  No picks, no changes to the deal of any kind.  Holmes hasn't signed anywhere and is willing to come for our $18mm in remaining cap space.

So, your offseason is Conley (my pick, but you could pick someone else), Holmes, Wiseman and Oubre or you say no to GS and get Conley and whatever $12mm will buy and still have KP.  What say ye?
