    Ya fortunately he's only 20 and doesn't have much experience running a NBA offense so there will be growing pains.

    SomeONE?

    More like everyone!

    Wall, Dipo, Tucker, BMac - all gotta go.

    Even if Rockets do not get any young talent back, dump for FRP.

    Bundle the FRP to trade up for Cade.

    F the tank, play to win. Fix the F'ing culture in CF!

    Porter
    EGo
    Tate
    Cade
    Wood

    Too bad they haven’t already played together here in Houston for a couple years

    That's quite a bold statement. So bold that I'm thinking alcohol might have been involved.

    But I hope you're right.

    This kid will be amazing. I really do wish he got to spend at least 1 season playing with Harden to pick his brain. Once Porter Jr. Learns how to draw fouls and improves his basketball iq, It will be over. Young, fast, has court vision, tall and has a shot. This kid will be dominating very soon.

    So talented. He and Christian could form a dynamic duo for years to come. Hope Wall doesn't mess up anything.

    It’s like if MJ (KPJ) and Drexler (also KPJ) were traded for Sampson and played their career with prime Hakeem.


    Hopefully they give him #4 as it’s very sentimental to him(his father’s number). Sorry House your time here is ticking.

    More like James Harden and Anthony Davis if they teamed up together.

    Wall better not tell him to focus on his defense that's all I know.

    It wouldnt be all terrible for KJP playing 15-20 mins, eased in at first. Don't want to put all the NBA level pressure on him while his self control is still in question. Only if this team is in true tanking and doesnt care about losses, then let him play full minutes for experience.

    He should run the point off the bench with EG at the 2 immediately, getting 28-32 mpg minimum, including at crunch time...with Wall playing off the ball. Porter is our point guard of the future.

    Once Oladipo is moved Snipa Brooks should be signed to be his 2 guard off the bench.
