    I think he would have been a solid rotation player if he didnt sit for that injury. Thanks and be well Kpap.

    His current value to a team is the fact that he's a big non-guaranteed contract, though I'm sure he'll get a smaller deal with some other NBA team soon after he's waived. Still, I wonder if seeing what's happening to Papa made Lull have second thoughts about coming to Houston.

    Good Luck to KPap! He played his role well when healthy.

    The only thing of value we gave up in the trade.

    I liked him.

    IMO, the injury robbed him last season.

    The Rockets used their own 2013 first round draft pick in a trade with the T-wolves to get Dmo as part of the package.

    The Rockets used their own 2014 first round draft pick to select Capela.

    The Rockets used their own 2016 first round draft pick in a trade to get Ty Lawson.

    And of course,

    the Rockets used their own 2015 first round draft pick in a trade,

    to get rid of Lin.

    I'll miss K-Pap. Wish he had gotten a better shake during the season. He had a weird, nontraditional game and it stopped working once defenses figured out he didn't want to shoot, but for those first ten games or so it was beautiful to see a forward threatening to average more assists than points.

    I'll always remember that dunk on Larry Sanders. He became real depressed after that and never wanted to play basketball again.

    I really like Kostas. I think he is still going to be a good NBA player.

    Denver will almost certainly release him, and then he will be a free agent and can pick a team that has at least a bench role for him.

    This. I think he will be a solid NBA player in a season or two.

    Never really got a chance to show his skills. Wish him the best in Denver.
