I don't think it's crazy to be willing to part ways with a bench player for a high potential guy at a position of desperate need.
I like Cole a lot but KJ's ceiling is such that he could be a legitimate core piece if he reaches it. It's a gamble but eventually you have to hit on a guy like this to have enough pieces to win a championship.
ETA: Personally, I would do it but I see the reasoning on the other side.

Not at all. Cole is the definition of replacement player.
He played well for the Pels. He works hard on defense, but he's a small guard and he is not Beverly. I would imagine people rate him highly because he shot significantly better in New Orleans in 28 games than he did in 274 games in Miami. Maybe his shooting will normalize and stay at this rate. I doubt it though. I'm not a fan of him "running" an offense. That he is comfortable off ball is a big plus, though. And he's been there before, so that does count for something.
I get the worry about Holiday and Gordon and their health. But, unless my medical advisors don't think Holiday can overcome his injury, I don't plan around that. To me, Cole doesn't rate highly enough to make that much of a difference if there is injury. You're screwed playing whoever that guy is regardless. I'd rather take a gamble on an impact wing (that many thought would get 8 figures this summer before being shipped to Houston- many also think that deal and his subsequent burial on the depth chart was Hinkie payback for not signing the 4 year deal he gives all 2nd picks).
I go for position of need over the 5th guard on the roster.
Plus, we have no idea what price point either guy is looking for.
