Go back to KP's rookie year and you will find that I said that this might happen when Phil was here. Even though players like KP usually stick on their rookie deals.
KP could come back 100 percent from this injury. Doesnt mean he wont be susceptible to other injuries. If KP stayed, he would likely be carrying the bulk of the load. Has yet to show that he is physically up to the job. Potential FAs might pass before they see KP play at an elite level for more than a handful of games.Before they commit.
Would have been pleased if KP stayed, but he clearly doesnt want to be here, and doesnt care about draft picks. By the end KP was acting like he had already arrived.
Porzingis is an injury prone player, who has yet to fufill his potential, we are getting 1st rounders, a talented PG who has shown he can ball, but needs to play more in control. As Uptown pointed out, maybe Fizdale can help him with that.
