    I will not tolerate players that think it’s about them when it’s about the team.

    I would rather play with 10 people and get penalized all the way until we’ve got to do something else rather than play with 11 when I know that right now that person is not sold out to be a part of this team. It is more about them than it is about the team.

    Cannot play with them. Cannot win with them. Cannot coach with them. Can’t do it. I want winners. I want people that want to win.

    You know Hakeem was a baby at times too, and the org almost traded him for Rony Seikely, good thing they worked it out....best to wait on Cam.

    Not giving up on Cam yet, especially given our current injury woes. He’s just a pouting 20 year old still trying his best on the court, it’s not like he’s throwing soup or leaving games at half-time or something.

    Yeha I agree. Cam is an offensive machine. He probably wants more minutes so he can get paid.

    At this point he's a repeat offender, Let a tanking team gamble on him. It's not worth the locker room problem.

    There was another play where Aquaman tries to celebrate with him for one of his buckets late in the first, Cam just shuns him.
    We have to come to terms that..

    Those tweets were useless. No time stamp or vid. I don’t want to have to rewatch tv e whole third to look for something not specific. Now I’m skeptical if it’s eve.n true

    What a waste of talent. He really has no reason to pout like this

    Apparently.

    He didn’t bump into Tari. Just didn’t embrace him. Basically ignored him onthe way to the locker room

    every time I see a box score cam has as many points as minutes played. You don’t just find players like that. He could fit into a 6th man role perfectly. 25 mins 20-25 ppg. If we’re serious about winning we should keep him. We have way too much depth, players are going to get upset. Stone needs to clear some space. Dump FVV, Jabari, Jalen.

    Cam will be part of the package to get KD from the Suns.

    I like it.. Force Ime's and Stone's hand for a trade ... He's ready to average 25 on a sh@tty team.. Let him!

    This is a good time for the coach to right this young man's attitude.

    That one tweet said check around the end of the 3rd or end of the 4th. What kind of bs post is that. That’s a big game in time to be complaining about a specific incident…

    I didn’t see anything in the second half. anyway I had the wizards broadcast so maybe it was on showed onthe rockets broadcast…

    The Rockets may not need Cam in the future, but they don't need KD.

    There’s going to be more playing time for him next season once VanVleet is gone.

    Also, don’t see Jabari being in the team’s long term plans in the future. So, I could see Tari eventually starting at pf next season and Cam could play the three.

    I don't recall seeing anything.

    I will reserve judgement until i see some kind of evidence. The few tweets shared so far are useless.
