    In Corporate Bankruptcy a Ch 7 is typically a liquidation of assets when there is no hope for the company's assets as is, and there is more value in a liquidation than in restructuring under a Ch 11 where the assets stay in place because the business is feasible to continue.

    In your view, which team in the NBA plays in a way that is conducive to Jalen’s talents? Maybe we can send him there?
    IND for Jarace Walker? I wouldn’t mind…

    Which team plays in a way conducive to Jalen Green? One that doesn’t win a lot and has no accountability?

    I’ll say this, as time goes on, a barely 19 year old rookie Jabari Smith looks more and more right when he confronted KPJ and Green for not practicing right.

    Jabari has things he needs to work on too, but it’s bad when a rookie calls out your leader (KPJ) and golden boy (Green) for screwing around and ruining practices…. How bad was Silas for not standing up to his GM for letting them get away with anything that they want.

    Indy is winning so they are not interested, also no max for him due to Siakam arriving.

    I could see Utah but they would not give him the Max either.....just a temporary dude.....

    I could see Charlotte....actually after a Rozier trade.

    They probably have LaMelo-Jalen/Nick Smith-Brandon Miller- Mark Will

    Mid to late first round pick is not nothing. I'd say not even that if he really is that bad. I mean, ask yourself. Would you trade a mid to late first round pick for a guy like Jalen?

    Did you read my post? I didn't say that.

    I do think it's reasonable to bench him for having consecutive bad games at this point.

    Looking back at his career he's never really been benched seriously. The one time Silas did it he improved a bit. I do want to see Cam go against NBA starters and play with our starters more.

    Might be good for Jalen and good for us.

    You are tripping because there are only 1/3rd of the players and 0 coaches remaining from that team.

    It's very disingenuous for you to act like we lost because of pace lol. We were 14th in pace, not a fast team. You think we lost because our pace was average rather than slow?

    That's not a serious position to take bro. I think it's time to stop making excuses for Udoka's offense. Show us one thing that works well outside of FVV-Sengun. If we have 13 players that can't do anything but catch and shoot, Stone and Udoka built this team. That's very bad.

    These dumbass chapter threads were cringe from the beginning and a jinx on Jalen’s career.

    At the beginning I admired OP’s devotion as a bit kooky but polite Jalen-stan.
    At some point he changed, becoming mean and intolerant , indistinguishable from the worst Jalen ass-slurpers here…

    If he's a solid role player, tell me what role is he playing so solidly?

    Scorer?? Nope.
    Facilitator?? Nope.
    3 & D guy? Nope.
    Defender? Nope.
    Shooter?? Nope.
    Rebounder? Nope.
    Glue guy? Nope.
    Whipping post?? ... I guess.

    Just an offense that is not the slowest, most crowded in the paint. Same for Cam for whom people in the paint is an even bigger issue. That much is obvious.

    No doubt Jalen was checked out last season. We've heard this from all the players. Sengun voluntarily realized that if he stayed unhappy with losing that he was getting isolated and depressed. So he just started having fun. That's by his own admission.

    I have 0 problems with the fact the after 1.5 years of the most brutal losing ever, other than rookies everyone was checked out. That's the result of pushing tanking that far imo and we were all disgusted with it too. You can handle it for 1 season, but it seems that any team takes a nose dive in motivation if you push it past that, regardless if your coach is Greg Popovich who has nothing to show for his "proper" development while losing.

    Would I? No, but that’s because I know better. Ask the OP if he would though. The hope is that there’s a sucker out there thinking they can still turn Jalen around. If it’s just for seconds then we should just keep him around to come off the bench, but there’s a price where we can recoup some value and dump him on some unsuspecting franchise, we have to pull the trigger. We will never get #2 pick value back, that’s a sunk cost fallacy. Bagholding is how investors lose all their money, be smart and take the deal as long as there’s a fair offer out there.

    I dunno which is worse, Jalen's shots in that clip or the music in that clip.

    Both beyond bad.

    This stuff you young cats call music is garbage ..... drum machines, click tracks and auto tune .... LoL.

    How is that an answer to @Nook ’s point that Jabari cared, while Jalen didn’t?
    Some people on the team cared about the losing culture, while the heavily promoted Golden Boy didn’t. That’s the whole point.

    Same on this board, too, BTW. Some people here were disgusted, while you and others were happy because your boi-crush was getting numbers. Where are the so called “Rockets fans" like @O-dawg and @fchowd0311 these days? At least @Reeko seems to be waking-up and smelling the roses…

    I call BS on your "we were all disgusted with it too". You were the one most prominently lecturing everyone here about patience and "trusting the process"…

    Don’t forget @i3artow i3aller, hiding in his mom’s basement nowadays, guess he doesn’t have much to say anymore. Scattered like rats on a sinking ship, nowhere to be found now. Can’t wait until Jalen follows the footsteps of his loser fans and gtfo of our team.

    The music is classic music used by a rapper.....

    Every one of Jalen's shots looks like a circus shot......
