    Silas will address media today at 4:30 so will get an idea of where KJP stands with the team then.

    I don't care what mistakes he made, I mean JR Smith killed a dude.........this kid is 20, and is making DUMB youthful I just got paid mistakes.

    He is not even CLOSE to mature yet.......and we have some guys that can help with that - if he continues to act a fool we cut him........this is so low risk, I love this move.

    I dont like JR smith either. This isnt a matter "oh he's just young and dumb" this is a matter of the kid having serious mental health issues. Its not something you write off nor is criminal history. There are things that are more important than being a good player.

    He will say something like. It doesn't look good or KJP had a meeting with me last night and he loves my style, I think he will be great off my 12 man rotation. 5 minutes a night.

    I was wondering the same. We could have cut Clemons a while back.

    Prior to the Harden trade, we had almost zero wiggle room under the hard cap. When you cut Clemons you have to eat his entire contract. Now that the Harden trade cleared room under the hard cap it is easier to release him.

    Even now they surely would have preferred to trade him.

    Who cares about legal trouble? If your 20 year old son did not go home for two days and then showed up stoned and with bruises on his face, did you ask him, "Are you in legal trouble? No? Great! That's fine. Nothig happened!"

    You are moving the goal post. First you said innocent until proven guilty, meaning that you don't believe whatever he's accused of has been proven. Now you are talking about whether he is in legal trouble.

    He is owed 1.51 M this season. Nothing after that. I would rather have fan favorite Gerald Green instead of Bruno. Stone should offer a future second along with him to any lottery bound team.

    Except he didn't do any of that. He got into a car accident.

    basically this.

    We are in a position now where it makes sense to take on players with ‘post-achilles injury’ on their resumes, as well as on/off court behavioral issues. If it doesn’t work out- oh well, we fuked up......and we will fix it.

    Bruno has already been cut.

    Team has no open roster spots right now.
