    Well I think that it is up to his lawyer and the Rockets to take care of.

    It's a big deal because stepping on a homeless man, even if drunk, is totally stupid. He needs to look inside of himself and realize that was wrong.

    But no, there is no reason just to cut him or trade him because of this.
    It's not like he killed someone (football joke).

    Congratulations, Terrence. You are officially worse than Royce White.

    For what, a bag of Doritos? What little trade value he had, and it wasn't a lot, has now bottomed out. I suppose the Rockets could still move him, but it would probably be for peanuts.

    To put this in perspective, not even Cousins has done something this gross and stupid.

    And now there is even more pressure on Morey to find another four.

    The report was Jones was drunk after leaving the bar. People do stupid things all the time when their drunk. The homeless guy wasn't really injured. Maybe just a bruise. So Jones should issue a public apology, pay the homeless guy off, and all should be forgiven.

    Why didn't the T-Wolves trade or release Kevin Love after he stomped Scola with millions watching & cameras rolling?

    I'm trying to imagine Motiejunas stomping on a homeless dude's leg and it's not working.

    Even for drunk people, even for stupid drunk people, stomping on the homeless is pretty far off the spectrum of normal/acceptable behavior.

    I really feel like we don't know the whole story.... And there isn't all this evidence against him( at least yet, if any)

    So of u guys need to calm down.

    Innocent until proven guilty.

    Wouldv'e it been better had he stomped a millionaire?

    see Kevin Love.

    He did something stupid & luckily no one was seriously hurt. He'll have to pay a price and move on.

    I don't know why this is funny. I hope laughing my ass off at this whole thing doesn't make me a sociopath or something.

    The 4 for the Rockets is like the retail place in your neighborhood that is always turning over to new restaurants. Or the drummer in Spinal Tap.

    I feel like VooDoo is all about the marketing and gimmicks. From the bright pink interiors to the, crazy toppings like Lucky Charms, Cap N Crunch, to the weird donut shaped like someones genitals... it's definitely funky and weird which appealing to Portlandia. Of course a lot of people like the crazy "out there" stuff which is what made voodoo such a great success especially amongst tourists as a must try destination. If you liked Voodoo I don't blame you for wanting to go back.. it's pretty good. However, if you've already tried Voodoo and want to try other good spots or just want some plain ol good donuts I'd recommend the following.

    Blue Star Donuts- They're creative yet gourmet at the same time. They have some funky creations like Voodoo but more upscale. The place is clean and the donuts don't leave you with a disgusting fatty feeling like Voodoo does. This place is not cheap in terms of donuts but neither is voodo. Bonus... there's no crazy line outside like Voodoo

    Delicious Donuts- Inexpensive, traditional and delicious like the name says. No gimmicks here... just plain fresh goodness.

    Coco Donuts- Always fresh and they have this amazing lavendar donut.

    You're right on both counts, but I can't imagine any scenario where a leg stomp is justified.
