Such disappointment. He looked really good. With real talent. Now we’re gonna lose him for nothing.
CLEVELAND — Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. is expected to be traded or released following an outburst Friday in the Cavs locker room, The Athletic has learned from several sources with direct knowledge of the events.
Porter, 20, who has not played this season due to personal issues, grew angry when he entered the locker room and realized the team gave his old locker to Taurean Prince, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade Wednesday.
Sources said Porter, whose locker was moved to the wall where the younger, end-of-bench players reside, began yelling and at one point threw food.
Sources said general manager Koby Altman came into the locker room and confronted Porter, and the player remained combative with his boss. The Cavs spent the weekend trying to trade him.
Coach J.B. Bickerstaff heard the commotion in the locker room from his office and came in, shocked and disgusted by what he heard.
and likely see him be good with someone else.Such disappointment. He looked really good. With real talent. Now we’re gonna lose him for nothing.
He has to go. Just a minus to the team now. Damn shame
Would hold on awhile and see if we a 2nd pick thoughOur head cases have a propensity for throwing food. Better than feces I guess.
I just hate losing talent like this during a full rebuild. He's definitely top 3 on the roster in terms of young talented prospect, but he keeps making major off-court mistakes.
We won't get any sort of value in return in a trade or by cutting him.
