The Spurs don’t go after guys with character issues. Pop said one of the things they look for is guys who have gotten over themselves, ie guys without egos who can be coached. KPJ is the exact opposite of that. Not to mention that the Cavs have apparently been trying to rehab his issues for months. If he goes anywhere it will be to a team even more desperate than the Cavs, and I don’t know how many there are. Maybe the Pistons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehob 657 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Trade with HOU in the works Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Espoiral 478 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Think he has a chance to become the starting 3? That would make him an immediate pickup. Not sure if the Rockets are willing to give him that long a leash though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jugernot 113 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Great landing spot. I may finally be able to take him off my dynasty league's IR. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Espoiral 478 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Just now, RedDogNamedClippers said: Over House and Gordon? Lol House isn't talented at all. Gordon would most likely be relegated to a 6th man gunner role once Wall returns. That was Houston's plan for him since the start of the season as they wanted to start House at the 3 before he went down. As for KPJ, they might gamble on his talent and start him in a Wall-Oladipo-KPJ-Tucker-Wood lineup. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedDogNamedClippers 2,369 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Well if he is “mentally” ready. Crawl don’t walk. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beejay6020 199 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 def a path to mins but i think he'll have to prove himself a lot to consistently move past tate who they seem to really like, house, gordan, ola, pj etc with wood/wall and ola doing the main scoring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fabrar 2,798 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Just grabbed him. He's a headcase but he's crazy talented. Probably will be the starting 3 and get big minutes. There's lots of upside there 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hornrimmed_rambis 2,087 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Not buying it. Even if he starts, he is the 4th option. And he should not start. Nwaba and House are better defenders. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedDogNamedClippers 2,369 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 If I’m Houston: Wall, Oladipo, House, Tucker, Wood. Bench: Nwaba, Gordon, McLemore, Tate, Cousins 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m1dday 300 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Maybe next season if none of the vets are resigned. Unless management is that high on him, I don't see a path to relevant fantasy value just yet. Edited January 22 by m1dday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gdupm6 524 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Yep not buying it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brown_Mamba 40 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I hope they try to develop him and give him major minutes because theres no way Nwaba, Tate or Brown is better than thim upside wise or even currently. You must be high to say otherwise Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if the Rockets are willing to give him that long a leash though. Here's a question. Rockets rotation Wall, Oladipo, House, Tucker, Wood, Gordon, Cousins, Tate. That's 8 guys locked in. So 9th is either McLemore, Porter, Nwaba, or Brown. Not a lot of minutes for Porter to be fantasy relevant at this point. He's a speculative add, but don't be surprised is he irrelevant. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JormaJormala 747 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Not a good look for him. Maybe some relevancy if they blow it up and make a decision to give him a look. Last year he played well when Cavs threw him out there with major minutes and good usage. Not seeing it here now. Wait and see approach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbc88 218 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Been stashing him on my IR for a month. Gonna leave him there until we see how this move shakes out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Austin_Rivers 118 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Thinking about stashing KPJ or House on my IR. Unsure which one but im assuming House would be the safer choice and KPJ is more of a lotto ticket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ellejamil 841 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Unless Vic slides to 3, I'm having a hard time imagining a path to consistent 25-30 mins for KPJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
