    Even judging him on what he is now, he's already the 2nd best player on the roster behind only Sengun and still only 22.

    They started out with a similar leash coming out of college. KPJ chewed his up and spit it out.

    Greens currently gnawing on his.

    It has been just over a year since his last incident. Only in your fairytale world is redemption measured in days. It's going to take a lot more than a years worth of good behavior to convince folks that he has turned a new leaf.

    Not for people who are good managers it doesn't...but those who hold grudges and wear a name tag - sure.

    Lol. Shocked people would dislike a me first ball hog who literally quit at halftime. Only his 6 followers are blind and think everyone should forgive him. He's not even good.

    You certainly aren't a good manager. If one of my employees walked out of a meeting they wouldn't re-enter the office outside of gathering personal belongings. No intelligent employer would put up with that nonsense

    Serious question: how long between he threw stuff in Cleveland and drove off during half time in Houston?

    I think it’s over a year. But not sure. Regardless, jury is still out IMO

    So good managers handle him with kiddie gloves and let him do whatever the F he wants on and off the court? That’s good managers?

    No. That’s where bad culture comes from.

    Without a doubt KPJ is a talented player who has the unfortunate circumstance of being cast in a role not well suited for him.

    With that being said, this is his 4th year. I expect his experience to lead to growth and him playing smarter but I just don't see it. Jalen in his second year is already close to him in scoring ability and playmaking, while appearing be a much better fit with Sengun (who touches the ball less with KPJ on the floor).

    Simply put, a second year player SHOULD get more leash than a fourth year player... especially when they both do the same thing.

    The question you have to ask yourself is who should you roll with:
    1. The talented 4th year player with a checkered past and is pretty much his best NBA self right now
    - or -
    2. The 2nd year player that needs more work and though far from the finished product is right now comparable to your 4th year player

    Logic to me says you go with option 2, but go ahead and tell me why you wouldn't. I mean we all know you are a bastion of impartiality when it comes to KPJ :rolleyes:

    I'm sure it is to a loser like yourself who can't comprehend running multiple businesses. I'm sure your drive thru career is going places. Don't let me distract you. You're holding up the line. Run along little fella before you get fired

    Only with kpj fans do they considered a 4th year vet on an equal timeline to a 2nd year. They ignore he was drafted in 2018, ignore that he had Two years of experience in advanced compared to the youngsters. He's two years older but he's really a 2nd year to them since he just started learning the pg role.

    It's true, I've sold most of my businesses, but that's what happens when you aren't incompetent as a business owner.

    Funny how this site absolutely ignores the glaring defensive liabilities golf Sengun yet find ways to rip Porter. It's unfair and disturbing tbh

    F you think Sengun’s defensive liabilities have been ignored on This site then you’ve just missed the many posts about it or you are being willfully obtuse.
