    I don't get how telling you how they operate is considered a conspiracy theory(CIA created word of art)

    I just shared with you from what they say and promote, if that bothers you go and take it up with them

    If you fear what you don't understand then that's a personal prob, get well soon

    You seem to communicate well on here, so ask questions like an adult about what has you befuddled and I will answer them to best of ability

    Huh? How do you want me to reply to Huh? With a Huh?

    Are the gays and Jews teaming up?

    Well at least you asked a question even though its silly

    Now I don't know if the happy ones (original meaning of gay) are teaming up with the tribe of Judah(Yehudi / Jew-Els) but if they are teamed up, does that ruffle your feathers?

    Do you feel slighted that they didn't invite you to join them?

    Ant seems to be built better to be a dominant player on both ends. But Jalen has that light frame that allows him to squeeze through and blaze past guys. I’d put Ant ahead in projection but still think Green can be a great player. He’s got a ways to go of course, but his explosive speed is a step above anyone else.

    I don’t get the same vibes as KPJ. I don’t think he is necessarily even a bad guy.

    There is just something off about him. He seems to be learning to love basketball but his feel for the game and instincts are mediocre.

    Got you, there is something off about his instincts of the game and not because he is a weirdo.

    Personally as said he is not as crafty as Euro players but also not totally mechanical.

    His dunks and fadeaways are great but other than that he does not seem to have exciting plays.

    He is going to be a monotonous star player.

    Not worried one bit, about Jalen Green [being traded]...

    he is to the Rockets, what Edwards is to the Timberwolves.

    I think as a person I have to realize that the people with the most controversial less popular takes are going to be the ones who post more about those takes. A poll where casual members who don't post much vote will probably still have Green leading in a poll of who's the franchise player. Though Amen might beat Green at the moment due to Amen's unknown factor.

    If you see Fox as franchise player, nobody on the Rockets is even at Lebron, MJ, Kareem or Duncan level.

    Nobody is at Durant, Giannis or Curry level either.

    They couldn't draft Wemby which was the best chance.

    Green is an enigma to me, he is a very skilled scorer, and is developing nicely in other areas too, and he is clearly a very hard worker - what I wonder though, because he will be due an extension is......is he an ALPHA - a guy you give Max money to.......that is what we have to find out THIS YEAR.....because if you don't believe he is, then you probably trade him.

    Green is Ant at home and will always be Ant at home.

    It is simpler to me - great prospect with god given talents but there is no knowing if he ever becomes that player.

    Like the journey is from one side of the flat earth to the other..... just trying to make it a more fun example.

    What makes it harder is that the Rockets organization is in flux.......one time it is the worst team, the other time it is one of the best potential defenses.

    Then you have Stone pair him up with the Criminal Porter junior.

    It really is a lot for a young player to adjust.

    I think at this point, ANT will be the more dominant player due to his mindset and his elite frame/athleticism.

    Green still has a ways to go, but I think he can be a special player but just not the way ANT is is.

    Looking at Bane last nite at the free throw line and his arms. I don’t know how much weight would be feasible for Green to put on. But the stronger he gets the more it will help him. Dane and Edward’s are built like tanks. If Green can get a little closer to that I would presume it help him tremendously.

    Yes, Ant still has places to go as well.

    I mean it's not even a question right now that Ant is better. Ant is an MVP candidate right now.

    He's also only a year older. Hopefully this is much more of a conversation by the end of the year though.

    Green will never be as strong as Ant but he has been getting more calls which will help his more finesse style. Hopefully the Rockets continue to have a respectful season and gain some respect from the refs so that they can call fouls on his drives so that he can be more confident in slashing. That's really the key to his game since his shot is so wildly inconsistent.
