    Why did the Cavs asked him to stay away from the team? Also why did they get basically get nothing for him?

    My point is leaving a game is inexcusable. So what if we knew he had issues in Cleveland. Him and wood need to be traded ASAP.

    There is no way you are getting anything from kpj in a trade. Release him

    Jalen Green hate is the reason many of them latched onto KPJr to begin with

    let Jalen Green have been the one to lose his mind in the locker room and just leave the arena mid-game…

    And The Rockets don't have multiple players who are in the same position? Green is the KPJ replacement if you have not noticed. KPJ is not a point guard and most likely never will be.

    I'm saying I think, Green would rather play with Wall over KPJ... $ht wouldn't you? If you got invited to ball with some dudes and had to chose a pg for your squad you would pick KPJ over Wall? One is not like the other, not even close..... I would want to play with the better player...

    Because they drafted 2 guys to replace him, I answered that in the post you replied to.

    So that's why they told him to stay away from the team? huh. Torpedoing his value. Or is it he was a harm to have him near the team. You said and I quote there is "zero risk" in him staying.

    You still have not answered the question of why you think Wall would be better for Green to play with when he has a history of being a much more selfish player and could not get along with a shooting guard who was much better than Green.

    Do you think Wall is gonna defer to Green more than KPJ?

    Really WTF are you, smoking dude.

    I ain't on Reeko level of KPJ slander but the numbers he posted on KPJ should drop the hammer on some of unrealistic KPJ deepthroating... I would love for him to be a 6th man here nothing more nothing less... if this bs didn't happen yesterday

    Neither KPJ nor Wall is the solution. Rather just roll with Christopher or Gordon as primary ball handler from now on. You still have Augustin, who is average but solid, and doesn’t try to force the issue. Green can handle the ball a bit too.

    I have no idea what your point is the rockets are nowhere near the point of rebuilding that the Cavs are, you are comparing apples to passion fruit.

    The Cavs had multiple incidents this is his 1st in Houston if this continues yeah cut him.

    There is nothing to defend here, the rest of the apologists are those who think he is a wasted talent.

    But time heals wounds.

    Let Front Office deal with him.

    You said zero risk in him staying. I replied Cavs, who know KPJ better than any of us, didn't think that. Again why did the Cavs tell him to stay away from the team?

    Hate that this diva is stealing shine from Jalen Green who had a great game. KPJ quit while Jalen showed out even while getting blown out. The difference in their maturity level and emotional demeanor is drastic..And Green is the younger one.

    Honestly if KPJ actually delivered on the court, I'd more willing to give him more leeway. But he's been pretty disappointing in that department too.

    It's like a crazy/hot meter thing with players, if you are Lebron or Harden, teams are willing to be more tolerant of any bullshit, because they are stars.

    KPJ right now is an 3/10 chick acting 10/10 on the crazy meter

    Do you actually think I hate Green and this is an either or?
    I have no issue with him being a 6th man I just think he can be a valuable rotation piece on a good team.

    I don't have a zero-tolerance I knew there would still be issues, especially on a team losing this much.

    The Rockets took the risk knowing he could be detrimental to the team. Maybe they expected this kinda behaviour and thinks they can rehab him.

    Cavs just gave up on him.

    If he continues? He is still continuing the behavior. Multiple incidents are still multiple incidents regardless of team.
