    Why don’t we bring him back so Sengun can run inverted PnR with him, and let him stay in the dunker’s spot for about 10-15 minutes? Amen can be the PG, and this setup seems more useful than giving those minutes to Capela. I don't think KJM lost his athleticism at all.

    Or the league was not used to be that talented with young prospects that a KJ Martin could at least last till he was 26.....

    I bet Garuba would be a player Ime would like to work with. Not saying in the rotation, but maybe development and practice guy...

    Jalen Green is only 23 years old and entering his prime. We should trade for him. Think how awesome he's going to be by his 8th season....

    Can someone remind me how Kenyon Martin derailed his son's career? I'm giving everyone a pass since the silas era was so ass.

    “I just want a better situation for him, as far as winning. Houston is Houston. The way it’s looking now… that’s not going to be the case next year. They’re going to have another lottery pick, and be even younger,” said Kenyon Martin Sr."

    “When you look at teams like Milwaukee, Brooklyn, San Antonio, Miami, Phoenix, even New Orleans… how they approach the game and play, I would love for him to be in a situation where people approach every situation like that, and help their young guys get better,” he added. "

    I looked up KJ just days ago. I can't attach pics but my browser history can prove it lol. Was finding a recent Cam Whitmore comparative, for super athlete needing to develop.

    I think KJ can play in the league as a 12th man dunker-spot finisher. He has elite 2 point finishing ability. But he is a classic tweener. Either needs to be a PJ Tucker, play with inside strength, or have more swingman versatility. He should be able to do what JaeSean Tate does. But his lack of handle & shooting hampers his use

    I think you took that out of context. He said New Orleans. He's trolling for laughs...

    A good coach should be able to reach and motivate him. I don’t blame him for wanting out.

    I saw him out in La two times the last few weeks. He was with his dad one time. I spoke to him about the rockets and his time here. Said he missed those days. Nice dude, but ya you can tell his dad controls his life.

    Hey Kenyon, did your son get better now?

    Your toxic comments ruined your son reputation.
