    I trust most of this board trusts Udoka as a coach and talent evaluator. Lets give him at least until the end of the season with Jalen Green. For what is worth, Green is having to make another adjustment (from Silas) and changing roles on this team at 21. Its been 4 freaking games, JFC.

    Good point we can start with the non contributors, right?

    He's had 4 games in a proper NBA system, and he still gets buckets as easy as breathing. Are y'all gonna pretend like he's still outscoring most of the roster without trying because he's always got the ball and takes all the shots still? That **** doesn't fly any more. He's already scoring near last year's average whilst not being anywhere near as much of a focus, whilst already improving his defense significantly over last year (oh he also got 9 rebounds the other night, better than most of our bigmen.) And you wanna give up after 4 games without seeing what happens when the system starts fully clicking and he's had the time to get consistent? So ****ing glad none of y'all armchair "experts" are allowed anywhere near the front office.

    We have this whole year to decide what to do with Green and Alpi, no need to make any moves now.

    We're not gonna trade him. Stone will ending up giving him the rookie max and we'll be stuck in mediocrity like the Wolves.

    21 Years Old, You Morons don't Understand. Idiocy on this Board is Ridiculously Bad. 4 Games in and Badmouthing Jalen Green. Get Lost and be Stephen Curry Bandwagoner.

    Talking about trading Green at the deadline seems like an overreaction to me

    Jalen still doesnt even have his nba body yet. Neither does Jabari. I can’t give up on either before they truly develop their NBA body.

    He is not really dynamic, he is a high end scorer but dynamic would suggest he reached a high level of consistency which he has not.

    Honestly i get the disappointment. I myself, thought he'd be " that guy" by now.. But then i remind myself , he's 21!.. He's a scorer. We drafted him to be a dynamic scorer.. The dynamic part takes more than 3 years I would assume.. He now has a better team and culture around him to mold and transition him into what we hope he'll be..By the end of FVV's contract, he should be " That guy".. If not, we missed!

    I do not think the Rockets are that team.....Tate is the only guy that has been here for 3 years since the Christian Wood era and when Harden left

    Why should the fans stay patient when the team cannot, and is changing constantly.

    Never made sense to me.

    Tilman is that culture in the end, if he says trade Green for a veteran star or something else, he will be traded.

    It's kinda like the Texans IMO.. when you rebuild, trash comes and some of it stays because you can't get rid of all of it.. Gotta keep somebody.. Tate is that somebody lol.. Both franchises did good jobs , albeit late as hell, bringing in "culture guys" on staff ..

    Texans seemed to hit in some areas with their picks.. Rockets in a wait and see mold with theirs.. Rockets have a tougher road because both their top young guys ( Sengun and Jalen) are essentially experienced projects IMO . Both can be great in terms of what they do but both have glaring weaknesses that can be a huge negative for overall team success.. Just my opinion
