The Rockets absolutely want to get rid of Kevin Porter Jr. since the player is accused of violently attacking his girlfriend in New York. According to Shams Charania, the Houston franchise has already initiated discussions with other teams and would be ready to add Draft rounds as compensation.
Will the NBA let the Rockets transfer a player under investigation for assault? That’s the whole question, but the Rockets are getting ahead by already offering – according to Shams Charania – their player to other teams. Proof of the Rockets’ desire to evacuate KPJr? They are ready, according to the insider, to send Draft rounds to the team that accepts a transfer.

With a one-year contract only guaranteed for $15.9 million, the idea is to pass that on to the highest bidder once morest a player who will integrate into the Fusées collective. There is no doubt that in the event of a transfer, Kevin Porter Jr. will be cut immediately by his new team. It remains to be seen what the NBA will decide regarding such a move, since the League has recalled in recent days in a press release that any sanction from the Rockets towards their player was impossible as long as the NBA itself has not decided anything. The senior authorities of the League, for their part, are certainly awaiting the outcome of the trial – which will take place on October 16 in New York – before announcing what it intends to do.
