    They are trying to improve their roster with disposable picks - likely 2nd rounders or late first for a quality player with a longer deal on a team that doesn’t want to pay it anymore. And the buying team isn’t expected to keep him either.

    at worst they are guilty of poor taste in being so transparent.

    Is this to save face and give the illusion of doing something? Because it looks worse.
    F/O is not dumb they know nobody wants to deal with this.

    I don’t like the idea of giving up additional draft compensation just to get rid of KPJ when Stone has wasted so much draft capital already. I guess they are trying to be free of the guaranteed money owed to him this year and dump his salary elsewhere. Do suspended players count against the cap?

    Rockets trying to find a player under contract that can help them ASAP in exchange for Porter;Porter would then be waived-SHAMS

    The KPJ experiment was a disaster. That’s on Stone.

    We don't even need KPJ. The team is sitting pretty in young talent & a great young HC. How dense are you?

    I would have thought he'd rather put a gun to his head to NOT report it because of how stupid it would look and add more scrutiny and attention. If he seriously is considering trading him which is just stupid and pathetic he'd probably want to do it behind closed doors

    The rockets franchise continues to be the laughing stock of the league. Called it years ago and now trying to use assets to attach to a loser rather than just dumping him LOL
