I love this deal, KCP was really solid last year. best perimeter defender on our team and one of our best shooters also. We also bring him back for only 1 year and on 5 mill less. This is the type of role player you want around Lebron.

I'm pretty happy with that. $12 is fair for KCP. Plays hard on defensive end for sure. Would like to see better shooting (42% for a guy who doesn't have to do alot of "creating" wasnt great) and if that happens, the guy will be well, well worth it.

I crapped on him a TON last season. He's an erratic and frustrating player. But he shot almost 43 percent on 3s over the final 40-some games. That's pretty damn good. And the best part is it's only for one year.

Im hopeful that with Lebron here, things will be even easier. We need some shooting. We have a couple 'alright' shooters. Nothing special. Hoping KCP steps up his shot and gets deadly

I really want to know what kind of leverage KCP has on Magic and Rob. Sex tape?

Cmon miles, hes better than journeyman status. Dude reminds me of an old player some may not remember, a dude that came out from the Dallas Mavericks. Played some years for us. Derek Harper. KCP reminds me of Harper. Not great, but a solid reliable player. Who can knock down a shot when needed.

Solid deal. He was really good in stretches last season. Even carried the scoring load on a few nights.

This is no favor to Rich. He deserves to be here.

KCP is like the sanest guy on the team at this point. I want to hug him right now.

Not a problem with Lebron on the roster.

Just park his can in the corner and LB will find him. He is the epitome of a player that excels next to James.
