    If the guys is a known KPJ HATER and the article is unsourced about trading KPJ, why read it?

    You've seen this team the past couple of years. Outside of KPJ they have no one to bring the ball up court and it could be argued, he's their best outside shooter. It makes no sense to further take away from your weakest areas, unless they know someone is coming in to replace him.

    Yeah, it looks like lazy journalism and speculation - it happens.

    I think KPJ still has some value on this team in an off ball or secondary/tertiary playmaker role.

    That point guard nonsense needs to be dead though. Rockets need to find a real lead ball handler this off season whether KPJ is here or not.

    Due to the case and investigation, Bridges set out the entire 2022-23 season. Last month, the NBA announced that Bridges would serve a 30-game suspension but counted 20 of those games as already being served due to not playing this past year, meaning Bridges will sit out just the first ten games of the 2023-24 season.

    He is available, would take a shot at him.

    I say give KPJ a chance under this new coaching staff. Y’all just be straight hating on this man. It’s ridiculous. Y’all forgot we do have an elite coach and I believe Ime will put KPJ in position to succeed.

    Yep, and that has run it's course....we don't know the situation but his talent would be worth a look, and if it turns out it was a one time thing, or he has worked on himself, then why not take a look.

    Sometimes people make mistakes......and grow from them....

    I'm definitely not buying it. KPJ doesn't have much value so it's not like we could get a whole lot for him anyway, what would be the point of trading him? He certainly wouldn't be a centerpiece in a Mikal Bridges trade. I think he's got more value to the rockets than to anyone else, it doesn't make much sense to trade him.

    Where does this article even state this is a rumor? It isn't. It is one person's idea of what the Rockets should do. If the Rockets wanted to trade KPJ he would have led with that. He wouldn't have buried one sentence at the end of the article

    Couldn't we just take back Simmons contract in the trade and stretch him, that would allow Brooklyn to clear their books of the worst contact in basketball while allowing the Rockets to not have to give up a lot of draft capital.

    I have been saying that for a year, to kick the cap space down for 2 years.

    The comment about trading KPJ is so weird. It comes out of nowhere in the middle of a paragraph, and it isn’t referenced later.

    True! But now you've got all the SOFs at Happy Hour Celebrating Lol.

    And you know it doesn't take much for them, all they need to hear is KPJ and trade in the same sentence

    KPJ is the guard version of Christian Wood, a very talented idiot. Wood has had all the coaches in the nba and his iq is still terrible. I expect the same from KPJ.
