Unlucky. We had high hopes and I even liked him more than richards. Go next GG
Sad to see it end this way loved his athletic potential, hope he gets the help he needs and lives a fulfilled life
Good thing we still owe that first round pick we traded for him
#GOATlife
Hope he gets the help he needs.
just never understood why he would do all the things he did. If it is mental illness then i pray he gets the help he needs but wow. He single-handedly took himself out the league by his own actions that he simply could have just not done. hope he gets another shot to revive his young career
Sad to see.
Bah god that is the Houston Rockets music!
This obviously happens to other organizations. The Spurs recently had to waive Primo because of sexual harassment. But when you look at this roster’s problems over the last few years – Kai Jones, Miles Bridges, Bouknight’s DUIs, Malik Monk’s drug use when on the team – it seems like this organization is either lacking in infrastructure for helping young players develop, or failing to do due diligence in their pre-draft evaluations.
I hope this changes with new ownership.
Hey Hornets fans… Could someone explain the situation here? Like, most of us outside only got alerted to this with the last two weeks of weirdness.

Shocker
Damn, that’s sad. I’m hoping the best for Kai.

someone called it lmao. brodie requested a trade averaging less than 3pg for his career…
nice trade
Whatever is going on in personal life, hope he gets that figured out first. Still young enough to make a life from being a professional athlete, maybe just not the nba
what a waste
Good he can be someone else problem
