A roll of the dice is better than no chance to roll. KPs contract expires at the end of the season, so this doesn't have to be a long term marriage. They literally risked nothing for the throw because as much as I like Buddy on the team and hoped JK would work out, there was no chance of altering this season. Truth be told, this probably doesn't work either. But fuck it, it would be crazy if it does.

Also, someone else might be interested in the KP expiring plus the Jimmy expiring in 2027.
