    I don’t know if trading Sengun is the answer but it’s an intriguing concept. He still can get a 3 point shot in his bag. Jokic, Embiid and Horford didn’t necessarily have a 3 pt game when they started but honed it and made it consistent as time went by.

    Nothing backs it up except for the game tape and direct analysis from it.

    Game tape doesn’t back it up, or any analysis.

    Aren’t you the one that wants Clingan?

    And you literally just said we have wings that can’t finish, your words.
    That means find shooters and wings that can finish.
    It definitely doesn’t mean trade your best player.
    That’s pure idiocy

    Agree with you. And its not just 3 pt game. He can’t shoot beyond 15 ft. He occasionally does the one leg jumpshot or shoots a jumper from that range. Having a 20-24 feet capability changes how defenses play the Rockets entirely.

    Yes because we are not in the business of admiring stats while losing by 10-20 points.

    Stop it.
    That’s just flat out lies.

    And you admire stats from Green against bad teams didn’t you?

    You didn’t just say we have wings that can’t penetrate and finish?

    Maybe you didn’t want Clingan and I’m thinking of someone else.
    Either way, the solution isn’t trading your best young player

    What are you expecting to receive in return for Alpi?

    With him being trash & all.

    No, it is literally facts.
    Every analytical aspect Alp is among the best defenders on the team.
    Your subjective viewpoint from “game tape” doesn’t mean you’re right. That’s the definition of opinion

    No. I admired how Green stepped up and led us on the longest winning streak in what. 3-4 years when Alpi went out. Plain and simple. I admire winning.

    I was responding to a post questioning why we would trade Sengun and offered my insight. I never favored either option. If you go down further in my other response I said i don’t know if that’s the course to take. Please read before emotionally responding.

    Alp was there for the first 5 games of that streak.
    They won plenty before that.

    oh ok. Well when i get the capability to edit videos and post them i will show you analytically from knowledge of the game. But until then that’s your opinion and i disagree with you
