It is unfortunate that we lost KCP without getting anything in return. Or in some weird way we can think that we traded KCP and Mook for AB on a 1 year deal. Not sure if that is a good deal.
well lets assume that we do trade KCP and not rescind him. History tells us our return wouldn't have been great for S&T.
i really think the Pistons attitude towards KCP's contract changed when SVG got to see LK,HE & SJ at practice and in SL. When you combine LK's future, KCP's asking price, SJ's & HE improvement and AB's current contract. it makes some sort of sense.
Let KCP go, free up minutes for LK, and have AB replace KCP
Let Mook go, free up minutes for SJ and HE, and have a rotation of HE, SJ, TH at the forward spots
I think overall our roster is more balanced
I'll never get why we let KCP go for nothing, it makes 0 sense other the fact that there's wasn't anything available that woulodn't require the pistons to buy out a player.
We let him go because even in a S&T you gotta take back salary and we're too close to the tax line to take back much.
At that point Galloway was signed too so we already had AB, RJ, Ish, Luke & Galloway on the roster.
Assuming we take back minimal salary - the guy would be a forward and roadblock SJ & Henry
I understand people being irked about losing a "asset" for nothing but sometimes you just gotta roll with the circumstances you found yourself in.
still doesn't explain why we rescinded so quick, we could have at least held him and see what was available . I think SVG the man got in the way of SVG the GM
