    With the return of Danuel House it appears we’ve seen the last of KJM for a while. It was fun for the few games House was out…..

    KJ has done more than enough to justify a permanent spot in the rotation over House. I can see it, you can see it, the random grandma doing aerobics in a snowy park in Beijing can see it--and if the coaching staff doesn't see it then I dunno what else to say.

    But I have faith. KJ WILL PLAY!

    KJ is a keeper. Does a lot of exciting and positive things for the squad. Fills in a lot of our needs, especially his energy. Him and alpy should be part of our future frontline

    Yes the fans can see it, but I bet you House plays many more minutes than KJM tomorrow and moving forward. Coaches live him.

    I’m guessing Nwaba will be the odd man out.

    I think it'll be House that's the odd man out.

    Im not sure what House brings over KJ. On the other hand, size, defense, good decisions, hustle, potential….

    House isn’t bad, he’s on a friendly contract.
    He’s built as the 5th guy on a good team, kjm is a bit more proactive with the scoring which is what we need.

    I bet house acts out if he loses his starting spot

    House never had a starting spot this year...

    I bet Silas will give KJ Nwabas minutes and give Daniel KJs minutes. Essentially Silas will find a way to play KJ less even though he is much better than House.

    I have to believe that House gets minutes for showcase purposes. If not to highlight his value for a trade then we're making a big mistake. Martin has been probably our most improved Soph and deserves the minutes he's been getting (because he's earned them with his play).

    I'm hoping House and Gordon are gone before the trade deadline (the sooner the better).

    People keep saying this but thus far, he has killed whatever value he had prior to training camp. @D-rock

    Eh , I think he still has some value to the right team ..... a contender with injuries at the 3 or 4 spot that can play a streaky shooter who plays average defense on an expiring relatively cheap contract. It only takes $3,015,200 to match his salary for a team over the cap.

    Silas needs to go if KMJ loses minutes, the guys who need to lose minutes potentially are KPJ and Green because they are starting despite being the 2 worst players in the team currently.

    In some ways it's good Green was the pick because I can't imagine how hard it would be for KPJ if he was the only player playing that bad. Fortunately he's got Green there to be even worse and soften that blow.
