    When he thought he might get paid by someone, KJ was putting out. Once he realized that would never happen, he ends up getting cut by the bottom feeder of the NBA.

    His fall-off was crazy. I legit thought he was a decent rotational piece and was completely wrong.

    His dad sunk his career. Lord knows what he was saying to the coaching staff and management at the other teams.

    They probably couldn't wait to get rid of him just to get Kenyon Martin out of their lives.

    He feasted off of Sengun because he knew how to cut.

    KJ sabotaged himself by listening to and believing his Dad's bullshit. He had a damn good thing going here if he would have been patient.

    Kind of crazy his father ruined his career and if KJ had just played his cards right, he could’ve had a decent 40-60 million contract with us.

    Was he not with Harden when he was with the 76ers or was he gone already by then?

    Good question. I think Harden was gone when KJ joined the 76res.

    He wouldn't have gotten nearly that much, but it would have been a lot more than the NBA pocket change he made the last two years.

    I'd love to make a quarter of his pocket change. I'd be living large right now.

    10-15 million a year, the way he was playing for us, definitely possible with the cap increase.
