    thanks! I thought so.

    Maybe "fully guaranteed" money is fully guaranteed even if someone becomes an axe murderer? :( May vary contract to contract, but I do think the fully guaranteed portions are baked in.

    And I'm glad to hear that you weren't abusing women at that age or any age but I live by the Word of God, which says "Let he who without sin cast the first stone".

    Which means, you probably weren't abusing women but you were doing something. And if you have NEVER done anything wrong....You must be Jesus Christ himself.

    Im not nor will I ever say he was right! All Im saying is that we have all done something and some people, regardless of how we feel about them, deserve the right to grow up and mature before we assess them and at the age of 23yrs old, he's still learning.

    It is not common for a 23 year old to date a 26 or 27 year old, normally those are out of the league or just dating someone older.

    You go to parties and get togethers, and women are just older looking at young studs.

    Because those are athletes, are pretty high functioning guys.

    If one is a nerd, chances are you do other things at 23. Mostly worrying about money (studies, career) than attacking someone.

    None are without sin. But transgressions have consequences. KPJ should be free to seek salvation of his soul after paying his debt to society. He just forfeited the right to do so in the NBA.

    Bullshit. The majority of this board hasn’t gone to jail for felonies. Maybe that’s just your circle but here we have lots of decent people. Jesus has nothing to do with it. It’s just a crutch you use to compare yourself.

    Well, two of KPJ's biggest enablers from past seasons are gone (Silas and Luke). I always wondered if Silas was playing the father figure thing (just by the favoritism he showed toward KPJ and Jalen Green).

    KPJ simply proving: You can't fix stupid. And the Rockets' front office learning too late: You can't fix stupid.

    The wording in the CBA strikes a difference between “termination,” “dismissal,” and “disqualification.”

    • Termination is what we usually call being cut. Guaranteed money is still due, unless your contract is picked up on waivers. Rockets can terminate/cut KPj notwithstanding anything the league is doing on its own.
    • Dismissal and Disqualification is also what KPj is facing. That’s a punishment from the league, which immediately ends any compensation due, guaranteed or not. I’m not 100% sure, but pretty sure teams cannot dismiss/disqualify a player, or at least not unilaterally without approval from the league.

    @Reeko
    I had to get on you a time or two in the past and I thought maybe by now you learned your lesson but I see you haven't!

    As I pinpointed earlier, we should not judge people, because sometimes they are mentally immature, ignorant to a situation or just flat DO NOT KNOW!

    Just like the person you so proudly display as your Avatar, Omar Epps! He was once accused of the very same thing KPJ was at the ripe age of 45!

    You apparently love Omar Epps but hate KPJ. What kind of since does that make, when they did the same thing??

    Yes folks it's all Stephen Silas - who was hired to coach a veteran run-it-back squad, who was allegedly mandated to give front office favorites time and forgive them for their transgressions including KPJ.

    I don't care that Silas is gone but the soothing stories that some people have told themselves about his influence rather than the Stonetittadoka rebuild masterminds is really somehting

    At this point just go through one season without drama and bad press would be heaven on earth.

    I wonder a lot do you seriously hear yourself in your rambles. LMFAO Omar Epps. The skin color is a bit similar I guess
