I like KPJ a lot as a basketball prospect. That Houston team is just BAD. They're not winning many games with or without KPJ.They are tanking. They don't want KPJ winning them any games

The Cavs didn’t trade him because he was slumping or because of lack of talent.Back up to the big club for the season now...
Cavaliers fumbled this one.

They traded him because they didn’t believe he was emotionally reliable to be a net positive part of their future.
That assessment and whether it was the right thing to do or not will not fully be understood for a much longer time period. HOU bringing him into their roster now is only a early data point, as the issue was never about in court NBA talent.
I'm fully aware of why they traded him. I'm saying it's likely to be a big mistake. The issues may not be the fault of the Cavaliers (a pandemic put KPJ in a spot where he was idle too long), but im not sure they exhausted their options or were patient enough with the situation.
The only way they fumbled this is if he turns out to be a 15-18 point scorer or an all star AND stays out of trouble in and out of the locker room.Back up to the big club for the season now...

What if we told you that players are happy he is gone?I'm fully aware of why they traded him. I'm saying it's likely to be a big mistake.

The team had just extended him. There‘s no way they wanted to give up on him but they obviously felt they had no choice. Nobody adds to an investment and then dumps it right after unless something has gone seriously wrong.Maybe by trading him they saved the kids life. Maybe he started turning things around after hit even more bottom than he thought he could.
Maybe the cavs did the right thing but all you seem to care about is the basketball side of the decision. Sometimes the person matters more than basketball.
Here is my problem, several insiders have said on here that this was bigger than basketball and they did this to try and help and save the kid but time and time fucking again posters like yourself keep saying the Cavs were at fault.
Seriously, i am serious about this question. Why do you REFUSE to understand that this was never a basketball decision and they felt he would never learn his lesson as a cav. We were even told that they picked Houston on purpose because they felt they were best suited to help him.
