that's how bad he is for the team.
Not quite. JP's contract was a factor as well.
I’ve watched a few Bullets games recently and JP looks like he is actually listening to the coaches and doesn’t look horrific. With the ball in his hands that is. His D is completely unsalvageable.
he's younger, cheaper, better in creating his own shot, better at attacking the rim, better at earning FTs, can be a second ball-handler, can be a second scoring option, in the 2021-2022 season was great, especially in the first round vs DEN. his D is unsalvageable? so is klay's at this stage of his career. everything else would've made more sense keeping him. klay is older, is done as a 20+ mins player and his body language stinks.
ofc after the punch incident JP couldn't stay, but an organization really 'light years ahead' would've kept him, traded klay, held green accountable for the punch and addressed the situation with him one way or the other. they s**t the bed big time on this.
