Let's not go crazy, I said I liked him as a player, but he's not some "untouchable" amazing caliber guy. He does some flashy things, and that makes a certain type of casual wet themselves, but realistically anyone who is running Sengun out there is going to inevitably have many "Can't play Kanter" moments due to his physical shortcomings especially a few years down the line when his already terrible mobility gets even worse. The fact that I'd trade him for an actual star just means I'm a Rockets fan.
If people on the internet are affecting you so much that you would rather spite your own team then it’s time to get off the internet buddy. Because 1. the rest of us who are Rockets fans do not want to get rid of one of the best players on the team just to get rid of his fans. 2. the front office sure as hell won’t be dumb enough to do that either. They are trying to win games, not troll the internet.
I love Sengun but he is slow and unathletic. I love Sengun but I want a rim protector and lob threat. I love Sengun but he should be benched for Bruno I love Sengun, but his +/- is always bad, whenever he comes in we fall behind. I love Sengun but Jokic has not won a championship I love sengun but his defense is very bad I love Sengun but he has terrible mobility I love Sengun but his fans are cancerous And ... I am not in love with KPJ but he is the best player in the team and he looks bad because the other players are scrubs I also love the keyword 'flashy' whenever it is used by kpj stans to describe Sengun, instead of very skilled particularly for his age and position. And the word talented is reserved for KPJ, the neverending talent of KPJ, lol. I don't see anyone pretending to love KPJ, for some reason it is the anti-Sengun crowd that loves Sengun so much If you love the rockets, do the exact opposite of what kpj stans suggest.
Great post. The truth is, all these "I love Sengun but..." statements are excuses for bias, whatever is causing it.
So.....me wanting to trade a mid level prospect for an actual star is an indication that I need to get off the internet? LOL, okay. Dumping his cancerous fanbase would just be a bonus.
If the return is good enough I would trade anyone on the team. But that’s not what you said was it? In fact its the other way around, you want to get rid of him and his fans, getting someone back that’s good was the bonus.
The whole thing was about trading Sengun in a package for Jaylen Brown....and that's when the Sengun fanbase freaked out. I'm saying I'd be all for trading Sengun for a legit return because he's nothing more than a mid level prospect with a cancerous fanbase. Losing him isn't that big of a deal AND you get to dump his fanbase. That's how you set up a win/win. Get a better player AND dump these weirdos that worship Sengun....that's like the best possible scenario this offseason. If we're being serious, he's not a starter on a quality team and he's unlikely ever to be. When I say "I like Sengun", I mean that he's a fun player to watch because of the often overly ambitious flashy passes....but he's a fringe starter on the worst team in the league.
This post has nothing to do with improving the team, it’s just about your grudge against his fans. What fans you are referring to i have no idea. I see most of the Turkish fans on here pretty respectful meanwhile a ton of people want to get rid of Sengun every chance they get. Seems to be a bunch of haters who are outraged over things they are imagining.
Quote the post where ATW is outraging. Or did you mean he disagreed with it. You are allowed you have your opinion that Sengun is a fringe starter and ATW is allowed to have the opinion that he wouldn’t trade Sengun for Brown. That’s not outrage that’s called an opinion, welcome to the internets.
I think time will prove you vastly underestimated his potential. Maybe, maybe no. From what I’ve seen if they redrafted Senguns class he’d go a lot sooner than the mid first round which makes him more than a mid-level prospect. I just wondered why you hated him and now I know. His fans hurt your internet feelings.
LOL, okay. Let's put a pin in this conversation and we'll revisit it if a trade is imminent....at that point his nutjob fans will already be trying to set the curtains on fire and you won't be able to deny it anymore.
I think that when the roster is filled out properly Sengun’s value will become evident. Hell, just adding a Brook Lopez to cover some deficiencies would make our offense blossom.
That's a pretty dumb take....but this is CF, so that's to be expected. If you point out a player's shortcomings, to their insane fan club it means you "hate" that player. Sengun has physical shorcomings that I don't think he'll ever be able to overcome. I guess that's "hate" according to a certain type.... So be it.
You dickride a guy that blew just as hard. The entire team sans 2-3 players sucked it up on D all season. Sengun was one of the few that actually gave effort more often than not.
