What will happen to KPJ?

  1. Miles Bridges 2.0, a 30 game suspension and the whole thing is pushed under the rug

    26.6%
  2. OJ Mayo 2.0: KPJ gets a massive suspension and is all but black-balled out of the NBA

    53.2%
  3. Aaron Hernandez 2.0: Bridges serves actual hard time

    20.3%

    I'd rather trade Cam and Tari for Jalen Green than bring back KPj.

    I was really rooting for KPJ to succeed here. Even after he assaulted a woman, I'll root for him to become a better version of himself and find some kind of happiness and success in life. But I ain't gonna root for him to be in Rockets red again. And, to be honest, I think it's messed up he's even allowed to be in the NBA after what he did.

    Rockets have no interest in KPJ….not coming back. Sad thing is that I am hearing Cam is almost certainly gone as well. Irreparable differences with Udoka.

    Buck's cap room is tight, but if KPJ can agree to a team friendly price, there's a high chance he re-signs there.

    It's fine to move on. In the span of five years, we went from Kevin Porter to Kevin Durant. Can root for other players, but root for your team first and foremost.

    If you're trading Cam, not resigning KPJ, who else is out there? Beasley is being investigated for gambling.

    Stone probably would've given this clown a 4/80 deal fully guaranteed if he was able to control his behavior

    I always knew he was a lost cause, but when he drove off at halftime, that was just the cherry on top

    the unmitigated gall

    All teams care about is performance and he was pretty good for them, and it's not like they gave him a big contract.

    Thanks for bumping this thread. It is important for us to be reminded that being a knucklehead decreases your earnings potential.

    Nah. DaDakota told me he was just a wayward youth who learned his lesson and will never again cause problems.

    It is a redemption's league, Josh Primo, KPJ, Miles Bridges, Josh Giddey.

    And a Circus for sure.

    Good for him, working his way back up the food chain....should have a good year.

    No, I liked his skillset and said he was worth seeing if he could mature....seems he is on the right track now, doesn't it?
