    Damn, KJ might be forcing the Rockets hands here. I don't blame him, but hope this won't lead to more articles and stories from KJ's dad and camp that he indeed wants to starts at all cost or something along those lines.

    To be fair, his play in the court doesn’t appear to be effected and he does deserve to be the starter….. but dude is not in a position to demand anything. Just play ball.

    If we can get a guaranteed late lottery pick for KJ, the By all mean grant him his wish.

    Send Gordon for the 4 second round picks or
    Whatever.

    The reason. KJ was able to develop was becaue we had the patience. On a real contender he might find himself in a less favorable position, if he doesn’t play the way that staff wants him too. He has a lot of freedom(but he’s also a great disciplined personality) on Houston. He can go to Miami but Spoestra is infamous for for gluing you to the bench if you can’t handle his defensive assignments. Same with Thibs. Cam reddish got The restart he wanted in NY and his minutes actually went down. His minutes still are less tha. What he was getting in Atlanta

    With his dad in his ear, it’s always gonna be a losing proposition with KJ unless we fully commit to him as our 3 of the future and pay him through an extension accordingly. I think it’s clear the rockets are not ready to make that commitment. He clearly doesn’t just want Tate money and a rotational role. I think moving KJ is inevitable…mainly because Tari is a better prospect, and Kenyon Martin Sr. is going to keep pushing for the rockets to sh#t or get off the pot.

    This is a "move along, nothing (new) to see here" thread.
    The piece is just a rehash of old news for clickbait.

    Notice it says...

    That's not anyone "knowing" anything!
    Just a rehash to fill space!

    Always someone needing to upset the applecart.
    Send him to OKC.....they have a million quality picks and they will start him.

    sengun fits lots of team
    his minutes now 25-28
    i prefer 20 staight mins in a real team with real coach,
    sengun will get his starter minutes
    but rockets they threat him unfair


    kenyon martin is a good player, he needs more minutes

    Good. Now we can prioritize the development of Gordon and Tate with no distractions.

    Trade KPJ and keep KJ if possible. Frees up minutes and essentially "takes out the trash" in KPJ. Obviously EGo needs to go as well but I suspect he has little to no value. I also don't think we're getting a late lottery pick for KJ. KPJ only gets you a second rounder if there's even a team stupid enough to take him

    Hmmm, I want KJ to start as well. Let's get rid of EG and start KJ. It's the season to experiment so let's just do it.
