    I don't care about your feelings so if it did or didn't upset you it's irrelevant to me. I just laugh at you honestly

    Getting back into watching the rockets again this season, I’ve seen some of what KpJ did last season and he looked pretty nice for our team and seems to be synced to the rest of the guys.

    what’s the dilemma of not wanting him to get resigned?

    I say you got a great young talent, that has and is continuing to build chemistry with the team, sure was hot headed early on but I’m sure he’ll grow past that

    Rui Hachimura is probably a good comparison case for KPJ. Wizards will need to make a decision with him the same way that the Rockets have to make a decision with KPJ, but I anticipate both teams will let the season play out first.

    He does look pretty nice. He's super inconsistent with a very high ceiling and a very low floor. At his absolute best he's Harden with good defense, but at his worst he's a 15/4/6 guy that can't run an offense on Westbrook level efficiency. Has all the talent in the world but also has some mental troubles off the court. He's a very polarizing player because of all this. He was basically given to the rockets for free, which means nobody in the league valued him at all.

    He had a game with 50 points and 11 assists, not many players are even capable of that. But the game before that he had 10/4/5 on 17% shooting with 5 turnovers. And the game right after he had 16/3/6 on 33% shooting. The rockets lost both of these games.

    If he puts it all together he will be very special. He has the potential to be a a perennial all star. But there's also a pretty decent chance that he ends up out of the league. The wide variety of outcomes is why the opinions on him are all over the place.

    You've got to be kidding. You're the least respected person here. You had to join the KPJ cult just to get some social interaction. Have another drink, Bobby

    Idk why folks are acting kpj won't get an extension.
    The question is how much. It seems quite weird to assume that the Rockets will give up on kpj after spending 2+ years in developing him

    Acting like he won't? He hasn't and is a restricted FA. They obviously don't think as highly of him as some of you.

    We got him for free so no matter what fans think about hom that's what gms around the league thought. You are a Rockets fan correct? Want to hand an idiot who quit at halftime on what should have been his last chance 20 million a year? Absurd. Great he played well in preseason. Again, Kelvin Cato says hello.

    Actually, KPJ (if you give him a contract) is closer to Matt Maloney. At least Maloney was cool to chill with at Bronx Bar

    You were right @ApacheWarrior --- I guess we'll just have to clown them into exile this year and fight fire with fire. No matter how civil and moderate one can be this place would rather just behave like children and jr high bullies. Should be fun sending kids to timeout to sit on their hands. Search function go cray!!

    "I need to see it during regular season"
    Where were you last year post ASB and more decidedly the last month of season?

    "oh that doesnt count"
    LOL

    She is. I bought my parents a new house which I'm confident that you'll never accomplish.

    Your group are teenage girls. A weird hill to die on. You guys aren't even getting paid which makes it just stalker type of stuff. Who literally cares about KPJ? If you were family or getting paid I'd understand but this is next level.
