    Sengun needs to get alot more athletic in the lateral defense side via plyo's and strengthening exercises. Every pre-game routine I see is them working-out Jabari with resistance band exercises. Focus on Shengun too

    When you look at videos of Sengun when he was 16 (he was skilled but chubby, very heavy base), he has already gotten a lot more athletic. Still growing into being a man.

    You should have watched Marc Gasol in Spain and the transformation playing in Memphis.

    This thread is funny. Talking about Defense but you got folks wanting to resign a aging 34 yr old star who didn't D up in his prime lol. Can't make this up.

    Well being ranked 27th or whatever they were ranked out of 30 teams paints a pic that everybody WAS a said target and they were collectively down right awful

    But I guess they attacked what they felt was the weakest link according to you on EVERY play, which is pure poppycock, but if you feel that way, more power to you, stay thirsty my friend

    Signing harden for his superior playmaking something we sorely need. Pretty stupid if u thought or thought folks wanted harden for his defense

    With that said, Harden would also immediately become one of our best interior defenders. :D

    It's not what I feel, it's a FACT lol. Sengun's the most targeted player on the team defensively

    If that is what you feel so be it

    But you said every play, so next time bring a legit number because being 28th out of 30 teams is not because of one player rather targeted the most or not, and if you think that is facts then so be it

    Sengun and the rest need to improve on that end and overall being they won 20 games back to back to back

    Harden isn’t the only playmaker that’s available. And for upwards of 200 mil for a guy that’s been on a decline for the last 2 yrs. Pretty stupid to suggest signing him to a max when he’s a 1 trick pony (now).

    Speculating his cost but fails to list name.

    He's the best playmaker avaliable. Looking at the alternatives, we are gonna end up overpaying for an inferior playmaker If we refuse to sign harden

    All I think Udoka was saying is that he wants to add a defensive PF/C to what we already have to form a better overall big man rotation. People love to read too much into sh** and pit Rockets players against each other.

    Sengun’s starting spot is now secured. I don’t think Udoka would like that very much.
