    Dude, just stop! The very fact that you proclaimed to bet against Stroud having a good career is ridiculous. He hasnt even taken a single NFL snap and you're already of the mindset that he's going to fail.

    Go back and look at all of my post, Ive never said anything derogatory about Alpi, other than the truth. He's small for his position, he moves slow laterally and he doesn't have a shot outside of 15ft.

    And so that you will understand, derogatory means critical or disrespectful.

    No, you stop. First, it’s a flat out lie that you haven’t denigrated our best young talents on the Rockets.
    Denigrate means to insult.

    And no, I didn’t say Stroud would have a bad career. I said he wouldn’t have as good as Maye. I didn’t propose the bet either.
    The only thing you’re right on is he hasn’t played a down as a pro, yet you’re convinced he’s elite.
    But Green and Alp have shown things that very few have done ever, and you take every turn you can to disparage them.
    Disparage is a synonym for denigrate btw.

    The very fact that I have you looking up words that you've never used before is impressive. I think if you ever decide to go back and finish High School you could become more affluent.

    Regarding Green and Alpi, I have said that both are good players but they have flaws. Neither plays well on the defensive end.

    Jabari, Sengun and Landale didn't play we got 6'7 Samuel's Jr and 6'7 Darius Days as the front court that's why they got dominated.

    Did Cleveland hold back any of their team like we did (Jabari, Tari, Amen)?

    You want skill and size, and usually, you tilt towards skill If all things are equal. A lot of this has to do with the way the game is officiated now, and the three-point line.

    "6-11 barefoot" Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith are plenty of size once they put on some old man strength. The main problem right now is that they are babies.

    I can understand that but the main objective is to win this yr., which is why I said we need another big besides Sengun and Jabari.

    We need at least four bigs, right now we have three.
