Is that tier players who have played more than 60% of games in their careers?

Some of these guys have been in the league a much shorter time and have still shown more than he has. I don’t even mean this as a slight on KP but rather a testament of how competitive this league really is.
Shai
Jerami Grant
Sexton
Vanfleet
Lowry
Siakam
Hayward
Rozier
Morant
Zion
Ingram
Tatum
Brown
Kemba
Derozan
Fox
Westbrook
Barnes
Sabonis
Klay
Turner
Another 20 names I thought of. KP could very well end up becoming the better player than some of these guys but he’s got a long long way to go.

Yeah but when you have KP you don't only get him but get his coattail riding brother too.
KP out with knee soreness again.

And Barrett. 20yrs old on his way to being a star.
I am SOOOOOOOO glad that we got rid of him.

Ok maybe KP is in the top 55
We haven't checked in with our buddy in a few days...he's not playing again tonight and no specific timetable for his return. Coach Carlilse says he "expects" Porzingis to play again in the regular season. Man, I almost want to feel sorry for the guy. Almost.

Luca is just carrying that team. Amazing

He's definitely in the Harden mold for me- amazing accomplishments, crazy numbers, but I don't like him and don't enjoy watching him play (plus, where as Harden annoys me with flops, Luca annoys me with constant whining)

Joke in MavLand is Hardaway was worth the 2 first round pick! LOL
He hung 42pts and 36 pts last two games starting. Not doing any regret thing here, just stating to some extent the trade was more than just KP and Timmy is effecting the draft position.
No doubt who we draft or using it as a trade asset will matter most.

Oh man...funny but it's a fact Timmy has lifted his play and it hurts us. Cap matters notwithstanding, in today's NBA market you can certainly make a case he was worth two mid to late #1's!
Too many games missed at this point to put KP on any list, but the injured list. Unfortunately.

I think we dodged a bullet with KP. May have dodged a bullet with Durant too. The Nets have already paid for one red shirt season and I believe he has missed over half of this season. Plus he'll turn 33 years old before next season so I doubt he becomes more durable as he gets older.
If the Nets don't win a ring this year or next they're screwed.

Yeah, I can't decide who I almost feel more sorry for, the Nets or KP.

+1
Harden's also annoying to watch because he appears completely comatose on the defensive end. Luca's not much better, but the whining and "arms up everybody, look what I just did" for almost every pass or shot made is thoroughly tough to sit through.
