    I don't like domestic abuse if it has been substantiated. That's a no go for me if it happened.

    4 pages and I’m SHOCKED we didn’t get one of these:

    ‘KPJ throws tantrum at Tilman after Landry’s gift card doesn’t work’

    Yes, it's also possible that the Pistons are making him work hard before giving him more minutes. Yesterday I read Casey was satisfied with him during practice.

    The real question is, does the front office believe they have enough systems and strong culture in place to handle someone like him? With a new coach and mostly new team, I would say no.

    This is true but also sad.

    Rockets is foster family not stable enough to absorb this troubled youth.

    If he is 6'6 or under sign me up, we don't have enough of those guys. We just have a team full of rim protecters and rebounders.

    I'm not a delinquent and am already a grown ass man but if I took a 2 week leave of absence and when I come back to the office and all my stuff has been moved out of my cubicle and out to the end of the floor I would be hella pissed. I wont throw food and shout at my boss but this def shows a wrong message to me about how Im not wanted and respected around my team. If they called me and informed me before hand maybe Id be a bit more ok but if theres no notice its just disrespectful.

    Cavs arent exactly a well run org this is the same owner who kept wasting top picks left and right and wrote an angry letter to Lebron in comic sans font lulz. Its too bad the trade came late but **** it trade House for KPJ.

    Has he had other outbursts? I understand with the locker. Ppl don’t understand the sensitivity of that locker spot. I remember jr year of high school after two years with the same locker, I came back from Christmas Break and they tried to move me. My high school was 5 stories. My locker was on The first floor, close to home room. They tried to put me on the 4th floor aka the freshmen level. So disrespectful. Just so disrespectful :(

    Cmon man these guys arent gonna shoot off guns in the locker room lol. Weve got way worse crazies than this kid for example he has never worn a wedding dress like Rodman or had an affair with Lebron's mom like Delonte West.

    John Lucas is on staff & Tucker will police the locker room & Wall seems like a mentor type. If he throws food then make him clean it up and move forward.

    I’m actually surprised they sided with KPJ here. Thought they’d rip into him and say how soft he is for crying about a locker.

    The point of trading for him is not just to get Porter, who is talented scorer similar to Zach Lavine, but the Cavs are willing to package one of their overabundance of BIGS to move him.

    The real question is which one of the Cavs bigs would benefit the Rockets the most.

    Hopefully most of you realize the opportunity first of all since Rockets only have TWO rotation quality players taller than 6'6, secondly the big better not be ANOTHER defensive liability.
