    If you don't want to play today why should you get to play tomorrow?

    cut your loses and move on. So far his problems outweigh his skills.. Wood can go with him as well.

    I see this situation going one of two ways:
    The relationship continues to sour and we eventually trade him or even CUT him.
    Or
    He's ashamed as h*ll and comes back with a fire lit under his a** and kills it. Hands his finals MVP trophy to John Lucas and brings up this very night as the turning point in his career and life.

    But remember, hes a 21 year old who's been known to be a hothead. We can't give up on him this easily.

    Depends on if Wall still wants to. If he says yes then I would say that it is the right move to let him play. A KPJ + Wood package should return a lot of assets.

    at 21, u should have some level of common sense

    this dude threw soup and got traded for a top 55 protected pick

    This after he got suspended in his 1 college season for his behavior.

    Has he learned his lesson? No. He goes and pulls this sh*t

    cut your losses…stop hoping that he’ll magically just get it 1 day

    aside from his behavior, he also just sucks on the court

    Good point, the team knew KPJ was a risk and there would be challenges along the way.

    Wood’s behavior is more troubling and may have just decimated his trade value.

    How could anyone have respect for KPJr as a teammate? Dude really just left the arena at halftime

    this is the basketball equivalent of screaming and throwing things at your parents because they told u clean your room, and then running away from home

    I already know most of the roster probably thinks Wood is a selfish clown

    It is a good narrative, the long lost son returns.

    I would ship his ass to the Vipers and see if he throws more tantrums for the year.

    The team is not winning with or without him.

    Wood is a wannabe on a rebuilding team. He looks like a star until real stars enter the building.

    Cut both and hire Deniz Aksoy to help us get over it.

    I'm Team Lucas on this you have a guy who was a good PG in the league if you are too dumb to listen to him then thats on you I could care less about his substance abuse issues that was 35yrs ago and he's been sober and has helped so many people and everyone you hear speak of him talks about what a great guy he has become.

    Porter has multiple behavior issues going back to college and if you are a PG and you can't take criticism from the coaches you need to play another position.

    Sad. I’m a KPJ fan but leaving the game during halftime is so stupid. Suspend his ass for a couple of games.
