they will then have the nerve to cry about player loyalty...it’s a joke Harden should’ve stayed carrying scrubs in Houston so fools could continue to hate him and trash him at every opportunity
What if it was a test? Give him the keys, then take them back again and see how he reacts? Can't be the future if he is so fragile. I wonder if he was brewing soup in the 2nd half and waiting for Silas to come back to the locker room??
If it was a test then I have even less respect than I thought I had for this coaching staff and front office.
I dint get where this "Porter quit on the team" is coming from ? By some accounts, he was favoring his thigh and everyone from the team is saying he was hurt. I am not saying it's 100 percent true but to me it appears everyone was just waiting for this kid to crack and are just jumping on the first possible sign. If kj did this no one would say a word
Lol ok. How many people do you call stupid to their face? I’m assuming 0. Only a true ⬛ Operates like you. So have at lil mama....
You can't see how starting guys you desperately hope to trade and playing them minutes is a good thing? If the franchise panders to KPJ from the start, there is little to no chance of things working out. A 'test'may not be malicious, there are many priorities. I would think less respect accompanied pandering to a malcontent? (And I am saying this as someone who has been very impressed by KPJ and hope he is mentally able to be a Rocket for a long time, and live up to his potential here.)
#bewell Is it malicious of a coach to see how a player responds to being coached? (Especially in a dead season). There could be hundreds of reasons behind the scenes to start Wall at PG and have Augustin run backup. If KPJ quits over 1 game, then, um, mentally weaker than the love child of McGrady and Pippen would have been. No loss, will never be a winner as a result.
The primary reason it happened that way is that was the plan all along. Everyone - including KPJ himself - said he was coming here to be Wall’s backup. Wall was injured so the backup started. Wall came back and the backup went to the bench. This isn’t a test or rocket science or anything mysterious. People here may not like Wall, but there is no chance he is going to be benched. The best KPJ can hope for is starting alongside Wall after Dipo is traded. KPJ was the first player off the bench and at the half had played more minutes than any non-starter. Eric Gordon was sixth man and fill-in starter his whole time here and James Harden was that in OKC. There is no insult happening here...
you'd think this guy is John Wall's mama or something. We get it Mama Wall, you can't have a 20 year old showing up your baby. You should tell him to get his knee scoped so he has an excuse
Trade him for a young player and picks as half the forum has clamored to do with Harden for most of the last 8 years,. Oh wait ,Porter is young.
If John Wall is Starting for these 3 years. The Rockets no doubt will be a Bottom Lottery Team these 3 years. And will lose Kevin Porter Jr. in the process. I think he will ask to be released. John Wall negative impact in Games will hurt the Morale of the Team. Enough is Enough, Right the Rockets should be Trading these Veterans and playing the Younger Players.
