    Jalen needs a wake up call. He's might have looked like a star as a teenager, but in the NBA he's proven that he's not even close to being a star level shooter.

    Green’s value to the Rockets now is as a sweetener in a trade, with another asset as the main piece of the trade. He’ll have value to some GM who’s willing to take a flier on his upside.

    Eric Gordon passively mentioning Jalen here. John Wall also did the same.

    Jalen doesn't care. he has a commercial for Google's pixel costaring with Druski. he smashes some IG thots. in his mind, he's made it. the clock is ticking hard on his "potential" window. it was wide open before the season started but now it's halfway down

    He has an enabler working as the GM of the organization. It's not quite like wondering if Tilman's going to fire his idiot son. But it's further in that direction than most people would like to believe. It's going to be up to Ime to fix this by doing what he's been doing. Letting him rot on the bench because it's clear that Stone is doing with Jalen what he did with KPj. He didn't allow for a viable alternative to fit on the roster so it's Jalen or nothing.

    I remember his rookie season...he was asked about his goals and his answers all had to do with fashion and materialism. Of course he could barely form a complete sentence when answering and just mumbled it like a pubescent teenager.

    Jamal Crawford was a great scorer who had a long career playing on several playoff teams.

    Jalen Green would be lucky to one day be as good as Crawford, and at this point I can’t see that happening. Jalen’s a scorer who isn’t very good at scoring.

    This entitled child has refused to work his a$$ off, and is incompetent. Green's been a cancer for awhile now. Send him to a rebuilding team, with a wide open offense. Good riddance.

    He shouldn't play any 3rd, 2nd or 1st quarters either. He causes the bench to have to climb out of holes.

    It’s time to move on from Jalen Green. If I was Stone, I’d reach back out to the Nets and see if a package of Green and some (not all) of the Nets picks back can get Mikal Bridges. If that doesn’t work, see if the Hawks like Green as part of a package for Dejounte Murray or Trae Young. If acquiring a win-now piece that fits the Rockets’ timeline isn’t an option, get the best pick value you can from a rebuilding team.

    Being disappointed about Jalen Green missing his catch and shoot opportunities is like signing Russell Westbrook and being disappointed he's not making his open 3pters. We didn't need you to come here and tell us Green can't shoot or takes stupid shots Ime. That's one of your KPI's - to improve that.

    As for Jalen, he shouldn't be whining. Do your best and complain to the coach if you don't like what's going on.

    This was a make or break season for Jalen. Unfortunately, he broke badly. Time to cut our losses.

    Look no one wants to say it, but it is right there in front of it all - Jalen isn't very smart - he struggles because he just doesn't get it, or takes longer to get there...

    His mumbling is a huge tell.

    At the number 2 pick, we got - Von Wafer part 2.

    Guys who aren't all that bright generally don't reach their potential, because they are below average intellectually.
