Rockets would be dumb to let Houston sports media/Blogs influence them into trading Jalen Green

    If Sengun is 6'11 then how tall is Embiid?

    How tall is Jokic?

    True.

    Unfortunately that group would also shoot 29% from 3, and maybe 60 from the line

    It seems like the Locked on Rockets Jackson Gatlin, Will and Bradeux, Rockets Chop Shop, Leaf GreenX. They all started Rockets Youtube Channels around the same time as Tillman Ferttita owned the Team. They have to be paid media Puppets by Tillman Ferttita.

    Alperen Sengun out of nowhere interviewing with Will and Bradeux show. He has Alperen number and video call interviews with him.

    Jackson Gatlin goes to every home game. Are the Rockets paying for his tickets?

    It is very suspect that these media personnel are treated as VIP Talking heads for Tillman Ferttita and Rafael Stone.

    Jackson Gatlin never takes personal phone calls or emails from fans. Jackson Gatlin hates Jalen Green so much that he blames the Front Office to take Jalen Green over Evan Mobley (He is Out with serious Knee Injury).

    I think there's also a very serious possibility that these guys are being paid by the turkish government to presentate Sengun as the unquestionable franchise player.

    If you think about It, that makes a lote of sense. These guys are easy to buy and, on the other hand, this kind of pseudo-democracy countries like Turkey or Russia, are really into this propaganda practices with armies of bloggers, social media bots, etc.

    I appreciate Sengun as a player. He's performing ****ing amazing this season and has the potential to improve even further. He seems like a nice guy also. However, there are evident limitations in his game that anyone watching can notice. He could be a great second star on a contender-caliber team, maybe someone like Pau Gasol was in LA, but I believe that's his ceiling

    Embiid is 6'11.75 without shoes. With shoes he is 7'1.

    Jokic is 6'11 with some change without shoes. With shoes he is 7 ft.

    You can even see the height difference in those pics. Nobody says Embiid and Jokic are 6'11 they are both called 7 footers. Sengun was only 6'9 barefoot previously but he grew an inch so now he is 6'10 barefoot and 6'11 in shoes.

    Everything you said is true outside of Tilman & Stone. Jackson doesn't work for Tilman or Stone. He might work for Sengun

    If it never goes up then you resign him to a cheap deal or he lives in free agency. At least you found out if he has star value not rather than folding too early and finding out you had the better hand all along.

    Trading Green now what is the value you get back? A low first rounder or multiple second rounders? We don't need those kind of assets rather find out if JG can be a star or not.

    How is he struggling on the defensive end?



    Sengun has the 11th best defensive rating in the entire NBA. How is that even remotely close to struggling on the defensive end?

    You prob saw a couple of bad defensive possessions and didn't even bother to check the stats before drawing your own conclusions.

    This is the best post in a long time. I'd say the majority of these posters were against the rebuild, now they're arguing who we should/shouldn't trade. Kudos to Stone. Agree with everything you said

    Imagine that, Rockets commentators have the nerve to push a narrative that the best player on the team is in fact the best player on the team. It must be a foreign government conspiracy.

    Sengun has the best defensive rating of any starter on the team. These idiots continue to propagate a myth that he sucks on defense.

    @rocketchamp the tweets below are the reason Jalen is being shopped not because of something in the media. Maybe his better play of late will save him but the team had/has a reason for shopping him. I give credit to @YOLO for posting these tweets in the Green/Numero Uno thread. I think they should be posted here for anyone who missed them.
