Ariza and KCP are pretty much the same offensively, but Jesus Christ is Ariza ever the better defender 0.0

The trade rumors have KCP back to being trash. Should have never leaked the trade talks until it was trigger pulling time.

lmao @ back to being trash.

He shot 37% in November. He's shot over 40% 3x in 6 games in December. He was never not trash.

I think that's pretty obvious.

Huh? It's widely known that he's wanted out, and it makes sense. He has veto powers so of course trading KCP was motivated by...KCP.

I really don't get why he would want out. The easiest way to get overpaid is to have a good playoff run on a winning team. Where is he going to get a better opportunity?

They're starting BI/Hart over him at the SG spot. He can't really play any other positions so he's probably concerned entering 2019 FA as a "bench player."

So he's looking for a team that will start him.

Can we somehow get 2 second rounders for KCP along with an expiring? We should be stockpiling picks to sent to NO for AD

KCP is definitely worth keeping.
For when he gets hot he is a microwave scorer.
And he is the best FT shooter on a team of poor FT shooters.
His defense is adequate.

Why is it that it seems like he's a microwave scorer for us when we're blown out though (and less when we need him)?

I still think he will ask for a trade by the deadline. If he stays, no problems for me.

I mean, id rather have ariza because of his switchability and playoff experience but kcp is a better perimeter defender - on smaller guys at least - and his shooting percentage from 3 aint that worse than ariza's. So, im ok with him staying if he improves his form

I think he should start at the 2. His perimeter defense isn't a game changer, but it's much, much better than Hart's matador defense. And when his shot is dropping like it has been lately, he's the better 2-way player. He's now up to 36% from 3 compared to 37.8% for Hart on similar volume. We just have a lot of guards with overlapping skills, so I don't blame him for wanting out.

LOL that defense by KCP to end the 3rd Q

Last time I saw LeBron act that way was JR Smith in the finals and you saw how that ended

Like I said, he's a great player when we're down 20 or up 10+. He's absolutely worthless when we actually need him.
