I don't think the issue is exclusively playing a like a dumb kid, although certainly that could be part of it. It's all of the off court distractions, attitude issues, and the maturity problems. Now, add both of those things that he's a shitastic winning player (don't confuse with talent) and you could see a team giving up on him like Cleveland already did. Conversely, I see your point of the Rockets are playing 2025 so doesn't matter to give the dude some time to see if he can get his head straight, but the odds that happens are low. It sometimes happens and some dudes can become decent players, but it generally takes years and is often associated with other issues like addiction. Not sure if that's the case here. He's looking like a kid who's writing his ticket out of the league and will kick around the international leagues right now. Time is ticking on his career. For his sake, I hope he gets it together.
