    I think Cason Wallace is the future at point guard for OKC.

    Jalen Green is the best chance we have at having a super star on this team, The Rockets aren't getting one via trade or free agency. Giving up on Green is the worst decision possible, haters say he has no trade value..... Then why keep bringing it up, they aren't getting anything in return... Best thing The Rockets can do is keep teaching him. Green is insanely talented, The Rockets just need to find a way to harness all that power... If they do The Rockets are contenders within the next three years...

    That may well be the case.

    I thought it was for the horrible pnr attempt between him and green

    OKC has a bright future but they are going to flame out in the playoffs (like we will if we make it) because they are depending too much on two guards that can't shoot in Dort and Giddey.

    Most teams are going to do what we did tonight, just put their best defender on Shai and dare other guys to beat them and if they have a big that can score like Minny, Denver, and LA does then they will be in trouble.

    Still, yeah, they are a really good team with a core that could be championship level.

    I agree but he got benched the final 2 minutes and deserved it.

    People just wanna hate on Jalen despite the other thread showing his performance is on line with lots of other star guards.

    Huh? Sengun is the best chance since he is already an all star.

    Jalen is Def insanely talented though and only weirdos want to trade him now. Whether he busts or fulfills his potential only morons will trade him now.

    What does last game have to do with this game? Might as well look at all the games he has played so far than cherry pick 2 game sample size.

    Sengun can never reach the heights Jalen can, Sengun is better now but we are talking about Jalen's potential and its super star potential.

    You might change your name to Alperen Sengün very soon, I have a hunch.

    There were news that people were more talented than Michael Jordan who just did not make it to the league.

    Even in the league, you might not tap into your potential fully......it is very common.

    This potential is one of those inflatables or a balloon, they lose air.

    Sengun was a league MVP before coming to NBA, Who is Jalen Green? No fundamental, no passing, limited athleticism...
    With this position, he can just be a bench or role player in this league...

    Everybody is ignoring the fact that he is only 21 years old and ONLY in his 3rd season...

    Thanks for your support, I will reference your post when I send an email to Jalen's agency telling him not to ask for a trade when the time comes.

    Hell yeah, spitting the truth.... Nobody wants to admit but Jalen's ceiling is Modern Kobe/Jordan mixture.
