Shams Charania of the stadium reported Wednesday that Houston Rockets Kevin Porter Jr. obliged.The Rockets are even willing to send several second-round tips with him. In turn, Houston would be looking for a player who “can play right away.”
In a vacuum, trading makes sense. Of the four Seasons remaining in the Porter agreement, only the next one is guaranteed. If the Rockets are done with porter’s ephemeral personality, why not trade this talented player and some tricks that will probably not become star players?
The problem is that this short-lived personality was recently arrested for assault and strangulation following an alleged assault on his girlfriend. For this to be the last misfortune in a busy career, Tilman Fertitta, owner of the Rockets team, should not try to take advantage of this Situation. The person with “Hospitality is important, regardless of the company” as the title of the first chapter of his book shut up and listen! The difficult business truths that will help you succeed should know that there is nothing hospitable to save Porter.
This is not to say that Porter cannot change, but given that he could eventually go to prison, Fertitta needs to stop talking to the teams and do whatever is necessary to remove the young Guard from the List. Porter had many opportunities to clean up his act. But prosecutors say Porter left his girlfriend with a broken cervical vertebra and a deep cut above her right eye.
According to Mirah Cuzer, assistant to the Manhattan District Attorney, this is not the first incident between Porter and his girlfriend. Cuzer claimed that there was another incident in which Porter crashed his car into his car.
Hoopster, 23, has pleaded not guilty to assault and strangulation.
He will have his day in court. Adam Silver said at the NBA Board of Governors press conference that the association will take the time to gather information about these allegations against Porter before making a decision, since no games will be on the schedule for some time.
