    I agree. I think its just picks for KD and filers; Tate, Landale, etc.

    But for Booker, it will include Sengun

    That would be foolish as well, Booker only works if you have a creator in the post like Alpi :)

    I wish they could trade Alpi so some "fans" can enjoy their mediocre players.

    'Reminds me of young Pau. He shou be a Laker.' - Doing my best Shaq impression.

    I expect more talking heads wanting to get our best player in a deal. With great talent comes great demand.

    lol these cucks were definitely salivating at the thought of being rid of the white devil. Never before has a fanbase been so eager to trade their best player.

    The Sheppard pick proves that they are building around Alpi much to the dismay of some of the more clueless fans. This team has a very bright future so they better suck it up and learn to love Alpi.

    I think Rockets Brass wants Donovan Clingan.

    I think Rockets Brass does not love Alperen Sengun.

    I'm pretty sure "Sengunians" know there are 29 more teams in the NBA that would love to have Sengun on their roster.

    Alperen Sengun is the best thing this franchise will have in their team.
    He is the best player in this team and the best player from his draft next to Scoot.
    All other 29 teams are jealous that Rockets have Sengun and they dont have him.
    If Rockets trade him, Sengun will shine in any team, he became star in one of the worst teams of all time in Houston (Silas years especially).
    This league will be Sengun's, Wemby's and Chet's league as bigs in the coming age.

    OK, these are the politically correct lineups.

    There is no question in my mind, however, that the way these lineups make a lot more sense:

    starters:
    PG:FVV
    SG: Whitmore
    SF: Eason
    PF: Jabari
    C: Sengun

    Bench:
    PG/SG: Reed
    SG/PG: Jalen
    SF: Amen
    PF: Brooks
    C: Adams

    First, the whole purpose of getting Adams was to clear lanes for Jalen. Since Sengun is not getting traded, even the JOFs will just have to agree that the best thing for their guy is to come off to bench: benefit from Adams and escape Sengun who was "stunting Jalen" (not actually true, but that's the JOFs narrative...)

    Second, split FVV and Brooks, to have an adult in each unit. If Unc is gone, Brooks will have to be the defensive coordinator, or the bench will be quite lost...

    Third, Whitmore, Jabari, and Tari are great cutters that can benefit from Sengun's vision. Plus, there is enough quality shooting on the first unit around Alpe.

    Fourth, Sheppard would be a great release valve for when Jalen gets into a crowd on the second unit. If Jalen can hit him consistently, watch out.

    Amen played great at PF. He can cut and dunk with Alperen's passes.I expect Amen taking starting spot from Jabari.
