    Chances are higher that he is a bust than our PF for the next decade. He hasn't shown anything his rookie season.

    He was playing for the Kings, for the worst team in the game, when guards are not passing, bigs outside of Cousins are not involved and two of the best players in Tyreke and DMC just don't like to play with each other

    The only story I cares about is why the Kings are giving up on him already.

    PF for the next decade doesn't fall on us like this. Real gem rarely gets passed so soon

    Financial reasons (dump extra money before the sale, Maloofs), he can't coexist with Cousins (and Cousins wants to have the ball in his hands on every possession) and PPat can, cause he was playing alongside to him in UK and had great success

    Still a dumb move by the Kings, he was superior in NCAA and he has shown some promise even in that small amount of minutes

    I wonder if we are going to keep him. I like Robinson I heard about his story during draft night. Kid is an inspiration & easy to root for. Would be nice to have him.

    After I heard him say, don't baby me I am a grown man, I was glad to have him as a Rocket. I think the hardest part of going through all that is EVERYBODY knowing about it. Even though it was pretty awesome how everyone bonded with him. I would just want to be anonymous and not have the whole world crying for me. What a man, hopefully just what the Rockets need.
