    You listen to John Lucas if anyone would know it would be him. John just wants these hard heads not go down the roads he did.

    No forgiveness needed. I’m reading the same information available to all of us. Be delusional if you want, bud.

    100% ABSOLUTELY TRUE! Why is Lucas calling out the players, it should be Silas....WEAK

    There’s a reason why Cleveland let him go for almost nothing

    If you can't get a 2nd for him than simply let him go outright. He should never play another game here.

    We got him for free, so no need to worry about recouping value. Don't need attitudes like his infecting others. He's talented, but nowhere near the level where one should tolerate this.

    Wood absolutely has value and a contract, so you have to tolerate his nonsense for a little while longer. But he should be gone by the deadline, preferably sooner.

    I thought Wall was supposed to be mentoring.

    Man this sucks. I was so invested into the backcourt of the next decade with KPJ/Green. I really hoped that was going to be the future of this team but I just don't see KPJ lasting another season in the NBA if another incident happens. Hell, this one by itself might be enough. So sad especially considering that hooping is what all KPJ has and what keeps his mental health in check.

    Man at least Green, Sengun and JC seem to have their heads on straight.

    He can't be pg unfortunately. Both him and Green can't be pgs at this point in their careers.

    Kid still has a bright future, unfortunately he seems to be a tad bit too loyal to anybody who gives him attention. Got involved in a club arrest with some scrub last year (House? Forgot who) and now he got mad on C. Wood's behalf.

    As for C. Wood this thread ain't about him but it's time he gone. Trade him for a good asset and let's move on.

    Oh I remember this. Can’t force someone to want to be a leader or be great.

    I always knew this Christian Wood and KPJ experiment was temporary - this particular incident just made that more clear now.

    Start Christopher at point guard. Develop him there. Christopher and Green as that back court would be great. Friends growing up. Keep em together.


    If KPJ can earn his way back, let him fight Martin for backup SF and maybe some SG minutes.


    It's time to double down on the youngsters.


    Christopher
    Green
    Tate
    Martin
    Sengun


    We'll get bigger in upcoming drafts.


    If I'm Stone, I start working the angle on a Wood for Wiseman and Kuminga trade.

    Yawn. The Rockets are the ones that should apologize, right before they cut his ass.

    Sorry Kid! We’re going in a new direction!

    The issue here is with KPJ, he's made multiple ones. Now this incident I don't think is as bad as his food throwing incident with the Cavs. I don't think we give up on him entirely just because of this. But I think he needs to understand consequences and probably have a couple game suspension and a reduced role for the next few weeks with less minutes. If he has problems with those consequences, THEN the org needs to consider parting ways with him.

    Wood on the other hand... He's 26. He is who he is at this point and he definitely isn't someone I want around a bunch of impressionable 19-21 year old players who are our future.

    Man the things I would do to have CP3 on this team. He is literally the best veteran presence a young team can have in the league.
