KPJ arrested?




We're told police responded to a call of a dispute around 6:45 AM ... and at the scene, cops observed a laceration on the right side of the 26-year-old woman's face.


The woman -- who also complained of neck pain -- claimed KPJ struck her multiple times throughout her body during the physical altercation. EMS responded to the scene ... and the girlfriend was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

Porter is currently behind bars in New York on assault and strangulation charges.
See ya!!!

Was reading his past stuff...guy has a very Aaron Hernandez vibe. Forget the NBA question. This dude is gonna kill somebody, if he hasn't already, if he is free to roam the streets.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

Agreed.

I never took the time to look into his background before this incident. I just thought he was a typical problem child with a bad attitude: yelling at coaches, being late, selfish....

Turns out he is just a poor excuse for a human.

Rockets can't actually cut him right now. The NBA has taken full control of the investigation and the Rockets aren't allowed to change his employment status until they complete their findings.

So just like Kevin Porter, Sr?

Yeah, I think that was the reason the Rockets couldn't trade him despite his very team-friendly contract and decent numbers. They knew they were going to bring in a veteran PG and draft Amen at #4, so KPJ was never going to be in the long term plans, and he certainly doesn't fit under a guy like Udoka.

I think KPJ being gone will be a huge plus for Green's career. Especially when combined with Udoka's leadership now.

Shocking that Silas couldn't do more with that team when the GM is undercutting player decision.

Thats a good signing. We could be a semi competent defensive team with FVV, Brooks, Bullock, Jabari and Tari on the floor.

A little late to the KPJ getting arrested news but I am glad to see the Rockets are likely going to do the right thing and cut him when they can. Dude is trash and has been given every opportunity to get himself together, he didn't so that hopefully ends his NBA career.

Nice article on Green.

Quote:

AS COACHES AND players trudged into the locker room at halftime of what would become yet another dispiriting loss -- one of 62 for the 2021-22 Houston Rockets, a team built to lose in its first full season since the end of the James Harden era -- they heard an unusual voice command attention.

"You're supposed to lead by example," Jalen Green, then a 19-year-old rookie and No. 2 overall draft pick, chastised one of the few veterans on the team -- a player Green and others present won't identify today. Other players and coaches had noticed that veteran playing with a halfhearted selfishness. Only Green spoke up. "We need you to be better," Green continued. "You're supposed to show us how to do this."


This was evidently directed at Christian Wood after he refused to check into a game. Having a rookie like Green call out veterans like that would probably not work real well with Harden, hence why Udoka would indicate that Harden wouldn't be a fit for what the team is going to try to do.

With the Astros back in the playoffs and the Texans showing promise, it's time for the Rockets to work their way back up too.
