    That's kind of a dumb response, but I guess that's to be expected at this point.

    The maturity problems in Cleveland were real and that wasn't the proper environment to deal with them, so it was a deal that had to be done...it just never would have worked out there, kind of like why Atlanta is looking to move Trae.

    Also, why would a GM be fired for signing a player to a really team friendly deal?

    I know you just want to throw a tantrum, but put a bit more effort and thought into it.

    Scoot isn’t really a pg either. It’s really if we miss out on Harden

    Ideally, if we took on a Tyus Jones, we would still have KPJ off the bench. The good news is, the Rockets’ cap space means they don’t have to match salaries to bring in a player, if I’m not mistaken. They could bring any of these guys on for just picks and keep KPJ. Often times, that’s a good thing, but a team like Memphis whose championship window is open will likely need to replace that player since they will be limited in free agency. KPJ is the only real option for us to send back to them, so it’s not a good return for me.

    Monte Morris might be a possibility if the Wizards decide to do a sell-off and give him up for nothing but draft considerations.

    Your narrative is that's its a dumb response, I am just matching it to what I respond to, it takes one to know one type narrative

    Why and how did you come to the conclusion it was real with Cavs but not real with Rockets?

    It seems like Trae wants out of Atlanta, but how do we know they are not spinning the narrative to make it seem like Atl is looking to move him?

    Stone should be fired for hoodwinking KPJ into that deal, KPJ should be getting the Barrett/Brunson guaranteed deals, that is how you usually treat the said best player, that's me speaking as if I Am KPJ's agent

    Just spinning my own narrative

    That is your troglodyte opinion, doesn't mean you are correct, you can't prove it with actual facts/substance, you are just spinning it to fit your narrative

    That's why you couldn't answer the other questions and you just replied to my last part, creating your own deflective narrative

    LOL, well feel free to hold your breath thinking that your false narrative will matter.

    Why was it true in Cleveland but not with Rockets? Why is it a maturity issue then and not now? Isn't KPJ only like 22? Or is he 32?

    There was a completely different situation in Cleveland than in Houston. He was basically set up for failure in Cleveland, and set up for success in Houston.

    Plenty of players who get drafted into bad situations can have their early development stunted before going someplace better and unlocking their potential.

    How was the most talented player according to Love at that time, on the team set up for failure? What legit Cavs source(reporter) fed you this directly

    How was he set up for success with Rockets? Plenty of players get drafted into bad situations and ideal good situations and still come up short

    Your game is your game, its not like he pulled a Francis and said he doesn't want to be drafted by Cavs and ended up on the Cavs

    So USC/Cavs(now a playoff team) were bad situations but a quasi led KPJ trifecta 20 win team is a good situation where he unlocking his potential?

    People tend to create narratives for those they favor, and brush off all others narratives if they go against that player, nothing new under the sun

    Because he was being jerked in and out of the lineup with an ever changing role on the team and that's not what he needed to be set up for success.

    Why did Jalen Rose struggle so much early in his career in Denver and with Larry Brown in Indiana?

    Are you new to sports? I'm not sure why these concepts would be so difficult for you to grasp.

    was that based on his herky jerk game of being inconsistent or was he lighting it up and being jerked in and out the lineup?

    Don't know what J Rose has to do with this, but let me add, why did Webber do well offtop? Why did the other Fab five members outside of Howard get jerked and didn't make it in the nba? Was it their game or attitude that kept them from shining?

    Rose really wasn't dominant at nothing coming into nba, he just had great height for being quasi PG, TMac would have been a better example, but he had the killer game to match, they were just caught up in the Vinsanity paradigm

    Yeah I Am so new to sports that I would imagine big Country Reeves is the best Center of all time, and you are the skip bayless of this forum

    Need a vet PG for this coming season.
    Doesn’t even need to be a starter. But someone who is a professional off court and will keep the young guys in check.

    who’s still left that’s tough? Lol seems like all nba players are soft these days

    You have taken so much time on this post, its a great effort !
    Unfortunately you based your team with Sengun returning,
    Quite possibly both he and Porter are to be the main parts of
    our trading ability in the upcoming season. Y

    Has that guy also been the head honcho for one of the worst NBA teams for the last 3 seasons?

    Don't think Harden will leave Morey. Just a hunch
