two things stood out to me:

1) how great it was to see players actually looking for KP

and

2) KP really reeled in some hard passes when he led the break and that was pretty awesome to see... a 7'er leading the break...

why ? most players get injuries in practices by the way, also you can brake an arm by slipping in shower

That fall is exactly why I wouldve traded KP for Josh Jackson and picks. KP is good--but his odds of injury are high. He looks like he can snap easily. If he played like old school Kareem---maybe Id feel differently but this guy at 7-3 plays more like a SF and his body will be open to shots at awkward angles. Even in this video--he goes up straight--and really he got freight trained. No base strength KP do not jump on contests in fact try to keep your legs on the ground as much as you can. Watch Kevin Mchale--he rarely left his feet. And he was an injury guy somewhat early as well.

If we keep KP he needs to be a 26-30 minute player max

I might've also traded him for Anthony Davis and picks or Antetokounmpo and picks.

The problem is like New Orleans and Milwaukee, Phoenix and Boston weren't offering.

ouch!!!

he's going to get hurt, or stay in foul trouble if he doesn't learn to stop jumping against guys 6 inches shorter than him. All he has to do is put is hands straight up and disrupt the shot, instead he tries to block every shot

WTF? Biased much? Dude KP traded for Josh Jackson and picks sounds good but you really can't know what you'd be getting. A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.

Exactly what are these "odds of injury" that you say are so high? KP plays mostly on the perimeter and takes jump shots. He goes for blocked shots on D and really a fall like that one can happen but his added muscle seemed to help him recover pretty quickly. KP is only going to get stronger so I don't find this kind of argument to be convincing. ANYONE can get injured landing on someone's foot or turning an ankle with no contact.

How about focusing on KP's immense talent and what he can do for this team as a primary scorer. With more touches this kid is gonna rack up buckets and get to the line.

Agree on both counts. Looking forward to KP having a larger role in the offense.
