No I love looking back at the games vs "contenders" and then noticing the song and dance you do is all for show.
I agree with Luka since we pretty much already had him here for 7 years and all he did was embarrass us...
Its not that he needs to prove it to get an extension, he needs to prove it to get a max extension. What the Raptors pay Scottie or the Knicks pay OG is irrelevant. You pay max contracts to max level players. If he's not that yet, don't pay him early. You have the extra year, pay him next year or match a RFA deal for him if he shows he is worth that money. This team needs to operate better than that to get to where they want to go. It's painful sometimes and sometimes feelings get hurt but in the long run, if Alpi is THE guy then it will work itself out. Same for Jalen but he gets a shorter leash IMO. He needs to show consistency or I'm trading him by the deadline.
He will get a max extension, that's not even a question (barring a serious injury). The question is, will it be now or after this season. Seems overwhelmingly likely it will happen after this season. The other question is, will it be from the Rockets. But he will get it from some team.
The dislike and hatred for Sengun reminds me of Altuve. Still recall in the 2013 threads talking about how fun of a player he was. He is going to be special. And I would have the oldies come out and say, "What's so fun about Altuve. He just hits singles. Easily replaceable." And then the funniest thread in 2015? "Replace Altuve with Tony Kemp." Not going to put people on blast. We stick together. It was Bobrek and Heynow. \ Sengun is right on the cusp of stardom. 2 more FGAs and a 7% improvement at the line puts him at 25 pts on 17 attempts. And if Green/ Eason/ and Jabari improve more from three. That's 7 assists minimum. 25/7/10 at 22 yrs old. I swear this fanbase deserves nothing sometimes. But the defense!!!! It should have been a top 5 defense with no injuries. What more do you want? Teams have always protected star players on defense since the beginning of time. After the Lakers got tired of Kobe scoring 80 a game, they went to Utah brought back Fisher. Took Ariza from Orlando then stole Ron Artest from Houston. Sengun just needs to do what he's been doing. Best defender after Amen and Eason
Clutch said again yesterday on Playback that he was told they would move Sengun before they would move Jabari. Mind-boggling.
If Stone were to do this - fire him immediately. Fertitta must step in BEFORE any of this insane stupidity happens.
Fertitta and Stone are ass. For real, Stone is currently a D tier GM, but he turns into a **** tier GM if any of this is true.
That's hilarious. Jabari's skillset is by far the easiest to replace among Core 6. This front office is so clueless, lol.
Same front office that wanted to give Oladipo a massive contract, and that had to be forced by the police to finally let go of their failed KPJ experiment. But they are quite aligned with certain Rockets influencers who applauded them for leaking that they were planning to start Bruno Fernando ahead of Sengun.
Other teams' fans cannot believe the stupidity of this even being a rumour. Every fan base in the NBA getting excited and trying to take advantage of Stone's stupidity now.
