Oof
They really said they’re done with his antics
Bro got traded to the streets
Mission failed successfully
You are a maverick
#GOATLIFE
Now he can go anywhere he wants lmao
“I have requested a trade”
Comments will probably devolve to jokes but hope he gets some help man..
I remember in one of his first videos that went viral this offseason he mentioned that he doesn’t think Charlotte would trade him.
Turns out he was right! #GOATLIFE
And that’s what happens when you request a trade as a bench warmer
Guy dunked on Wemby and called it a career
##GOATLIFE
bro didn’t even get traded
Wonder if he gets to keep his health care. Dude is clearly having a bipolar episode and needs help
Get ready to start learning Starbucks buddy
When keeping it real goes wrong
Legendary hornets career, goodbye
Hope he gets some help, the guys is clearly unwell. Also, fuck all these people in the comments joking about and making fun of him, this is a serious mental health problem he’s dealing with, have some fucking empathy.
I really hope his struggles weren’t stemming from mental health-related issues because being waived means he loses his health insurance, I believe.
He was posting on here two days ago asking for $10 in gas money to be cash apped to him
Kai: I’d like a trade.
Hornets: Waived, you said?
All the best to him though, hope he gets some help. Really sad to see (potentially) manic episodes being played out in the public eye. Kind of thing we shouldn’t be privy to. Least he can say he postered Wemby in a game, so that’s cool
Dude needs help for sure. Wonder what the issue is because if it’s mental health related it would have been nice to keep him on the roster so he has good access to doctors and help.
Traded to free agency
Live catches another body
He got a poster on Wemby. His career goal is complete.
That makes 4? first round picks from 2021 that have been waived before their third season lol. Josh Primo, Josh Cristopher, Usman Garuba, and now Kai Jones
i would’ve bet anything two months ago James Bouknight would’ve been cut first out of our two failed 2021 1sts
Bah gawd that’s the Houston Rockets music!
What dunking on wemby once does to you
Feels bad for the guy. Somethings not right with him
Requested a trade and got traded to China, he’s gonna have a hard time finding drugs out there
Kai : “I want a trade. I hate this team.”
Hornets GM: “We hate you more.”
That’s hilariously brutal. Would love to know the full scoop of what he’s been saying directly to Charlotte and his teammates that he hasn’t aired on live or Twitter.
“Trade yourself”

My GOAT
Me when the sophomore at Texas who only avg 8 points and 4 rebounds wasn’t good enough for the nba 😱
