    Seems like KPJ is staying. I can't blame them.

    He's a good incentive to make sure Jalen tries on defense.

    As a much better catch and shoot player he may make more sense as a starter and Jalen as a scorer off the bench.

    Obviously that's if Jalen doesn't do well with Ime...

    At least Stone got some guys that are willing to play defense. Didn't fill the need for a shot blocker.

    Ah.. while I'm gutted he wasnt a part of a larger trade. This is about market value for him lets be honest.

    With kmj gone rockets still have 24.4 mil to sign players, maybe a trade for a center?

    he wouldn't get better on defense or be better shooter, it sucks he gone but he wasn't be an all-star or anything, just a high energy guy . He avg like 10-12 on the clippers couple of dunks and highlights and will be forgotten when tari and whitmore becomes better

    Best we could get is a couple second rounders? Man, Stone is good at drafting but the rest of his game is absolute garbage.

    Agreed but what team is gonna give a first round pick back for player whose only good at cutting and dunking ? He would have gotten a first pick back he if could shoot the 3 atleast or be a good defensive player

    This moves reeks of something to follow.

    If nothing does follow, then it sounds stupid.

    Career 34% from the 3 is respectable. Nobody was defending last year either, not just KJM. I didn't say keep him, just asking for a better return.

    You complain about the Rockets culture, but then also complain when we trade guys who were part of the culture you complained about. Stone can't win with these idiots

    Apparently it's stone fault that kmj martin isnt worth a first pick, , they got 2 champions and 1 finals appearance player and a player that was important in Memphis good team, not the main guy but definitely had an impact

    Trading KJM is not surprising. It has been brewing for a long time. What's surprising is how little we get back.

    Not that surprising.

    Rockets fans, fans in general, tend to overvalue players all the time.
