35-year-old vet and probably our second most valuable player (if you're still factoring in Harden). As a fan, I'd be mad if they made him travel to Chicago for a pre-season game two months after he guarded damn near half the league on his own.
I find it annoying he keeps getting thrown into Harden trades as an add-in. F that. PJ has tons of value on his own. He can play for any team and he has a place with the post-Harden Rockets.
What's the point though? If he doesn't wanna be there, it's a one year rental. I think PJ is a pro's pro, but if he wants to pout it's bad for the culture of the team. It may be better to get rid of him and just start brand new and create a culture and future you want.
I agree he has a ton of value, but I want a team with guys who want to be here.
