Kevin Porter Jr.'s days with the Houston Rockets could be numbered. The 23-year-old guard was arrested for an alleged assault on his girlfriend earlier this week and the Rockets are looking to trade him alongside draft compensation, according to a report from The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Honestly, they should just cut him. Who would willingly trade for this guy, even if you're getting picks out of it??? This guy is a trash human being for what he did.

yeah i was gonna say, i don't think any team is that desperate to pick up this fool...right?? it's gonna be a PR disaster if they did

They could trade for him and then cut him. If I understand the contract correctly only $1mil is guaranteed for next year. So anyone who wants to get rid of high salary and only picks in return could do it.

14 or so guaranteed this year, but nothing after.

Nobody is looking to trade for him. Rockets are using him as salary filler with pics to try and get something in return. He would be waived wherever he lands, especially since a lot of his money isn't guaranteed.
