Hart was already better than KCP by the end of last season... as a rookie.

If you think KCP is losing his job as starter, you are mistaken. It’s politics, we bench him, say goodbye to any future Rich Paul clients like AD. KCP is playing for a contract, it’s politics and politics is the reason why he got re-signed.

Just something to remember about Kcp

When he’s bad, he’s a tire fire

When he’s good, he’s a flamethrower


Same feast or famine guy as last year. Hope he doesn't eat away too much of Hart's minutes this year.

Well, he's not the worst in the world. But where do you draw the line if you're Lebron? You want the better player on the floor to help you win, or you want your fellow client on the floor? KCP ain't killing any big picture plans. Klutch has bigger clients in Bron and AD. If AD wants LA, and Bron wants AD, then that's how it'll be. KCP will just have to wear his big boy pants. We've scratched their backs plenty with these two big one year deals for him.

I clearly watched the game and what I got out of the game is that the team was getting the feel of playing with each other instead of Impressing you guys with amazing stats.

No worries man, just trying to feed positive vibe, it was frustrating to watch Denver knock down all those 3’s and hopefully we prevent that from happening Tuesday.

I'm expecting a lot more out of KCP this season...I think he is going to have a big year
Overall the I can see where this team will make their bones...just wonder how long it will take...the tough competition out west will hamper that progress

I agree, what I wanted to see is even with a lose I didn’t want the Nuggets to go all blitz on us and they did which isn’t a good sign cause they will feel confident when they play against us this season.

And I agree Pope will have a good year, I usually ignore the Anti KCP crowd fans have something against him and it’s not just a poor performance. they have been crapping on him for no reason. he will have a big year playing with great passers like Bron/Rondo/Zo feeding him open looks.

I'm sure that KCP won't play that way all season, first game of the pre-season.

But I've always felt that Hart should start over KCP.

The argument "but we're paying KCP so much we can't.."

That's the front office's problem/mistake. On the court Hart and Svi are going to be better fits and Hart and Svi already have more to their game than he does. Svi can actually pass and has PG knowledge enough to play something of a combo, and Hart can put the ball on the floor and finish at the basket, something KCP has always struggled with.

Hart can get to the basket, put the ball on the floor as well as be a 3 and D guy

And Svi is already on the verge of showing even more to his game.

All and all, with Hart and Svi here , KCP is redundant at his position and when it comes down to it, I'd pick Hart or Svi over him in a second.

He isn't even going to be here after this year hopefully. Regardless of what we're paying him, if the culture is about the better player starting and it's not just a locker room of politics where it's not really about earning it, then Hart should eventually be starting over KCP.

He's only here because he and LeBron have the same agent.


The spot I think KCP would thrive the most on this team, is backup 3. He likely thinks he's better than that, but if we start Hart and bring KCP off the bench at the 3, it's a better fit imo.

Bench Squad
Rajon Rondo
Svi
KCP
Kyle Kuzma
Beasley/Zubac/McGee/Wagner

I like that fit tbh.

Hopefully he has a better showing in game 2.

Hart is better in every aspect except being a Klutch sports client.

Kcp not playing with the fire we are use to seeing, looks disinterested to me.
