    I can think of a lot of ways it would make me feel if they traded Sengun for Durant and funny is not one of them.

    Nahh don't include me in this mess. I wanted to trade Sengun for someone who would benefit the team. Not for an old beat down player with one foot out the league.

    I wouldn't be happy about the trade, no. But I'd be happy that you'd still be here. Plus I'd be happy all the lunatic sengunians would be moving on to be Lakers fans or Jazz fans or Suns fans or whichever team comes next. So I guess 2 out of 3 I'd be happy, yes. ;)

    There is no young player with a brighter future than Alperen Sengun.

    I'm actually with them on this one. This is what I would call a terrible Sengun trade.

    I'm just saying it's kind of a pot kettle situation when you tell people they need a hobby outside of clutchfans

    I don't have any hobbies outside of Clutchfans lol.

    Actually, I do.

    But this is where I spend a lot of my time on the interwebs (obviously).

    Hahahaha! YOU wouldn't trade Sengun for anyone but the Rockets would.

    Seriously, like I have been saying, Sengun plays on one end of the court....the Offense!

    And as most have said, he is an Offensive HUB but a since he gets most of his points under or near the basket, its antiquated basketball. You're trading two's for three's.

    Even if he kicks the ball out, you need shooterS and the Rockets don't have shooters. So, do you trade the masses or trade one? You trade one.

    By no means am I a Sengun Hater, I just love the Rockets and I see that as their best alternative.

    no, it's really not kind of a pot kettle situation . . . and the folks who need a hobby need that hobby to get away from sengunacy, not from clutchfans per se ;)

    I'll be the first to admit, I think Sengun and picks for KD is horrible but two #1s, Tate and Landale yes!

    But I said it months ago, why would the Rockets try and sign Lopez, if they were that excited about Sengun?

    I would argue the same goes for you and your anti Sengunian fervor

    yeah, my fervor comes and goes. Sengunacy on the other hand is permanent and runs 24/7 365 days a year.

    there really does seem to be an uptick in sengunian unhappiness today. I hope this phase passes quickly

    What's that person's Clutchfans screen name? He seems to really really hate Sengun.
