    Nobody is going to trade for him so just cut this bum. He's like Ricky Davis. Nothing but a trash person and a stat padding loser

    Trade Jalen Green - he has more value atm as a prospect, Keep the better player KPJ and bring in either a great shooter, or a PG to pair with him.

    Asset management 101 folks......KPJ doesn't have the value as Green because of his past but is a more efficient better skilled player right now.

    The only COMBO you understand is on a McDonald's menu.

    Yeah let's start thinking about trading Jalen when his second year isn't even finished yet. We can keep KPJ, the guy who the front office trusts so much we only guaranteed one year on his 4 year deal

    Ricky Davis is a great comparison. His stats looked pretty good for a while...but he was just a losing player. The problem was between the ears.

    Not at all, I get that folks get attached to our players, I am not attached to anyone...this is pure asset management style - Daryl Morey ish.

    You trade away redundant pieces for like skilled pieces that do fit.

    Lol at DD acting like he's not attached to KPJ. What a joke. He literally had 'KPJ Warrior" as his sig. So full of ****

    Dd is a big hypocrite what's new.

    Please guys have patience on kpj a 4th year vet learning.

    Oh let's trade greens a$$ rn for "asset management". Fool greens rookie contracts haven't even ended and u already giving up on green.

    The sad thing is he's deluding himself that he doesn't care about kpj when he's one of the biggest kpj fanboi there is on the forum.


    Dumb@$$ always think green and kpj are on the same level. Ones a fking 4th year while the other is a 2nd.

    LOL - it usually takes time for fans to catch up - I look at this like an asset manager - and how to make it all work, we have redundancy all over the roster...we have pieces that don't fit, how can we trade some that don't for some that do?

    Green or KPJ one must go...iMHO....and Green is the more easily tradable...so he goes.

    Cmon DD. You know better than this. Asset management 101 says to never sell at your lowest valuation point. Quit comparing Jalens value to Scoots. They are on totally different amortization schedules.

    Did DD just watch Moneyball and channel his inner Jonah Hill?

    DD had a tantrum last year when I said that Jalen would get better and he had better handles than he had shown at that point. So yeah he's had worst takes much worse in a lot of cases. IMO he, just like SIlas, let that KPJ 50 point game get to him. Now he's locked in with KPJ and theres no turning back

    I understand DD’s point of view. So far IMO, Green is ONLY a physical player (speed) and this maybe as good as it gets. How long will his athleticism last? I know he is young but things happen. How much difference between this year and last. I do want to see him under another coach before moving him though.

    PLUS what is the return on him?

    Jalen Green's value is actually probably at a low ebb - that's actually bad asset management.

    The lack of a real game manager/PG probably hurts him and Porter, ultimately, even though his box score stats might go down without the ability to dominate the ball.
