Rockets signing KJ Martin...

Ugh…

 

When keeping it real Dad goes wrong.

 

Dad did the Rockets a favor.

 

he had amazing chemistry with Sengun. Shame his dad had to derail his career.

 

Nicely done.....there was also this. .....

 

What happened between the martins and rockets again? I've tried to suppress that era in memory. Was his dad b****ing about the playing time or losing? I remember feeling bummed when we traded him but looks like his best times were in Houston

 

His Dad took issue of the losing culture and lack of discipline here in Houston at the time under Silas. In my opinion, his opinion was justified at the time.

 

Nah it was more like he felt his kid should get more minutes. But it turns out his kid is bad and got zero minutes on other teams

 

KJ Martin:

 

Lmao Kenyon should have kept his mouth shut and KJ should learn Chinese

 

It's crazy that Kenyan screwed KJ out of developing under Ime. Imagine if he'd learned to add all-round defense to his monster blocks and giant killing ways? Now he's out the league entirely.

 

Someone post that squidward looking outside his house meme lol

 

KJ would probably be a better depth piece than Jeff or Tate

 

Not Uncle Jeff but for sure over Tate

Classic case of hard work over talent, when talent doesn’t work hard

 

Dude would have been a nice backup 5 if he was 4 or 5 inches taller. Just too small for the NBA. He made up for it when he could leap out of the gym, but even being 25 vs 20 makes a huge difference in your leaping ability. That level of verticality needed to be successful at that role when you are that short limits your NBA usability pretty dramatically. NBA is a tough league. Being a freak athlete at 6'4" just isn't going to get it done.

 

Disagree. Tate can actually handle the ball and probably has the second best post moves on the team next to Sengun. He can also defend most positions. KJ just provides highlight opportunities. And Uncle Jeff is an invaluable player coach that can still provide minutes when necessary — and can shoot.

 

He would have bought into Ime's ways and been good at the defensive end.

Thanks dad.

 

I was gonna call for a ban until I cracked up laughing...nicely played.

 

KJ, Josh, TyTy, Garuba, etc. -- all of their best times were on a fully tanking team that was avoiding wins. Might just be some reason why they all got more playing time on that team.
