    seriously she should delete that, it's really tone deaf because KPJ literally destroyed another person physically.

    Hopefully she has another good one once her husband is canned.

    Ah. And she’s one of them, right? Because not keeping her mouth shut isn’t helping her husband’s career.

    It's better to pay KPJ $16M assuming he'll lose it all than to have it sitting in greedy Fertita's mountain of gold, right? First, KPJ's salary for this year dwarfs his prior career earnings and would go towards his legal defense, which I do not want. Second, you're assuming there will be a civil suit at all and that it will take all of his earnings, which hasn't happened in any domestic violence incident involving an athlete that I've seen. If you can find an example let me know.

    The Rockets and the NBA will likely face a challenge from the NBAPA in trying to void KPJ's contract, it's the latter's responsibility as a union to do so. There is going to be a legal process to this. Making preemptive "We're going to cut him loose either way" statements can only be used against them. Their legal teams will probably review any statements to the public on the matter going forward. It's amazing that you want the Rockets to do this empty feel good PR gesture immediately, while at the same time being willing to pay KPJ $16M. You haven't thought this through and are working on emotion rather than brains.

    This is all so messed up. Hope she is ok.

    KP is done. I don’t even think a Euro team would touch him.

    Hope he can get his life in order.

    Hope Rockets cut ties at the earliest opportunity- after nba investigation

    KPJ is a menace and one her husband enabled at every turn.

    Yeap, that destroyed vertebrae on KPJ's girlfriend's neck was beautiful in his eyes.

    (Paid for?) damage control?

    What about her sister's tweets.

    WTF? This looks like she is using this incident to pump up a story about her? Am I reading this wrong? What a strange thing to do?

    Also disputes the medical stuff, saying she didn't authorize any release - and says that her relationship has not been as reported.....

    Smells like settlement to me.

    Looks like she is in an abuse cycle, even in her state.

    Yeah, unfortunately another cowardice, unfortunately if true.

    I guess intimate partners are close.

    So everyone in the Rockets knew his nature but either pretended to not see, actively covered it up, and/or believe they're somehow psychologist who can dramatically change people's behaviors. Really no matter how you spin this, it's a bad look for the Rockets organization and certainly Stone if he was front and center in the KPJ enablement.

    I think Hey Partner said it is automatic going to the State....... hope it is not an early settlement.

    Also it might be just protecting Porter's basketball career. Futile effort.

    The state's case gets toasted if she doesn't cooperate.....that is how it works....and that is how a lot of things go - they reach a settlement but the only way she can get a $$$ settlement is if he is still being paid.

    This just smells fishy......maybe she is just doing what she needs to get paid....dunno.

    They didn't deny the fractured vertebra, only that she didn't give consent for the release of her medical records. Also, people in abusive relationships can have a strong emotional attachment to their abusers, which is why they sometimes overlook or cover up the abuse.

    She still loves him (DV is complicated) and probably realizes that her multi-millionaire lifestyle / bf is in jeopardy. She also thinks maybe now he can get the help he needs and will stop hitting her. I'm sure that motivates her to not want Kevin's career to be over.
