Rockets franchise is doing him a solid favor. His contract isn't guaranteed until later in October. If he gets waived before then and remains unsigned, dude loses the remaining $60+ million owed to him.

So he's not only a monster, he's a friggin moron, too.

They probably know that he is so radioactive and facing such a long suspension, no team will touch him. But they'll get credit from his agent (and other players) for the attempt.

His contract this season is fully guaranteed. Future years are not.
If a team has a long term contract they are trying to get out of they may look into it.

Kevin Porter asking Manhattan DA Office to drop assault charges

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. is asking the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office to drop second-degree assault charges after it agreed Porter didn’t break his girlfriend’s neck during an alleged hotel beating, according to his defense team.

Seems like he's missing another major reason he isn't in the NBA anymore...

Interesting. Is this better or worse than what Portland got instead?

Lillard then said if a deal couldn't be worked out with the Heat, he would prefer to rescind his trade request and return to the Trail Blazers.

Cronin's response to the seven-time All-Star was that there was no coming back.

All that for 8 months of Jrue Holiday?!?

:jawdrop:

I'm not sure they're a better team than they were 4 months ago...

:D . Apparently Jrue rescinded his retirement talk a couple weeks ago and reports suggest Boston intends/wants to sign him to an extension. I guess he'll opt out of the last year and sign a new deal (similar to Bogi).

Out - Smart, Grant, Robert, Brogdon and 2 1sts
In - Porzingas and Jrue.

Great first 5/6...after that, very thin.

Masterclass in asset management. Their team might actually have a shot at the playoffs this year if they leaned on their veterans to start and played Shaedon and Scoot off the bench.

Ayton
Rob Williams
Jerami Grant
Mal Brogdon
Anfernee Simons

isn't terrible.

It's been reported that Blazers are trying to move Brogdon to give playing time to their young guards: Scoot, Sharp and Simons. Don't think the PTL fan base will be happy if Scoot isn't starting.

Kinda feels like Portland's GM was intent on also punishing Pat Riley by improving the Heat's biggest rivals in the East.

I think there was a certain arrogance to Miami's approach since Dame's stance was Miami or bust. Cronin displayed a level of patience not usually seen and it paid off for the Blazers.
