KCP Discussion: Kentavious Can Produce!

well, we pay him sub-MLE, so mediocrity is sorta great, right?

 

His pay is finally in line with his performance, so yes, that’s good. He was MASSIVELY overpaid the last couple of years.

 

When you consider how others have gotten paid, I think he's gotten a fair deal.

 

now he does but he certainly didnt do anything good enough those 2 prior yrs to keep getting 8 figures

 

That's about the standard rate for a player these days. I'm sure that KCP payrate included a LeBron tax and that season he signed with the Lakers wasn't ever going to be one that we could really compete with so there was no harm done. The problem was signing Luol Deng which has crippled us with a ~5 million salary cap space that we certainly could have used this season. I mean, Tyler Johnson is getting paid $20 million and he sucks so it's not like KCP's contract, given that he was there to basically scout for LeBron, is notoriously awful.

 

Kcp’s were also one-year deals, which tend to be somewhat bloated and do minimal damage to the general financial situation.

 

There were reasons he got the contracts, but the value for what we got was poor. I don’t find that disputable. Nobody is feeling bad about it today because we are experiencing good results, but nobody was happy the last two years.

 

First one didn’t bother me much because FA was basically over already when he signed.

 

well, you're cool chinchilla like that

I hate bad value for paper. It just bugs. If Dwight was getting paid 20 million, he would get more criticism. But he decided to take the minimum, and we can do nothing but praise him for the value he brings vs the cost.

KCP is bringing fantastic value right now, and fans definitely appreciate it. Whenever you can turn around a fan base opinion of you, you're doing something right.

 

He has been poop the past two games. Do we need to start calling him KCPoop again?

 

Bobby Portis confused KCP for Mirotic.

Overall, amazing game from KCP today.

 

Portis is one dirty POS... and when you're name is Nikola, you're screwed x2.

 

Hope Bobby Portis gets suspended and fined for that... Dude cocked his arm and clearly meant to target KCP. It would have been a lot worse if KCP didn't find his landing.

 

KCP has been remarkably consistent.

Last 10 games: 26 mins, 11 pts, 48.6% FG, 54.1% 3pt%, 20/37 3s made.

Will be interesting to see how he plays with no AD and Lebron there. We might get a glimpse of knucklehead KCP since he will be asked to do more playmaking/scoring.

 

played good vs Dallas stats didnt mount up to the lil.things

 

Oh Stu....Caldwell....POOP!
