    Its because Rox have so many young guys and its offseason. Even Woj said we were trading for KD.

    Sengun’s not going anywhere unless a top 5 guy is coming back. He’s a young star on a very friendly contract.

    You realize Rox were already top 4 in defensive rating with Sengun at center right? What sacrifice are you even talking about?

    You're confusing PR talk with personal team preference. I like Sengun but I see that he, at the moment, doesn't fit Imes style.

    He does fit, he’s a better Horford. Who was a staple

    Nah, you're confusing the **** you made up in your head with reality, just because you frame it in a slick way it doesn't change what's actually going on here.

    You wont be satisfied until hes traded. Only then will you take off those SOF shades. But, I get it. He's a flashy player and it will suck if he went elsewhere.

    That would be a great reason to consider trading him but I was told FVV is the guy before Reed was drafted.. I guess we'll see but from what I heard the goal is to keep the players drafted and upgrade the team by trading FVV (to make room for Amen and Reed).

    They traded for Adams and signed Dante so no reason to trade Sengun. Not yet at least.

    FVV - $42.8 million
    Reed - $11.4 million
    Amen - $9.2 million
    Holiday - $5 million

    That's too much salary going to point guards. They can upgrade the team using FVV's salary without trading an upcoming superstar. Plus FVV's contract is basically expiring (team option after this coming season). Expect him gone unless he's willing to sign for much less, which is highly unlikely considering there are contenders who would love FVV on their team.

    SOF? Are you smoking crack? Most of the Sengtards would likely call me a hater because I'm far more vociferous in my support of Jalen Green despite being a fan of both, but sure, make **** up and see how that flies...

    Probably have to combine FVV with a young guy (and pick/s) to bring back a star. Otherwise there is the danger of just adding salaries to fill roles around the young core.

    "How many times does Ime have to say..."

    Bruh that dude doesnt have 1 quote from Ime gimme a break. Then he follows up with "Ime can't say it outright" so how can Ime have said it multiple times when he hasn't even said anything? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Maybe we listen after Ime actually says something. Till then Sengun is a rocket so stop b****ing.

    I think the Rockets are trying to decided if paying a BETTER Horford the max is worth it. They are only going to give the max to two players.....IS A BETTER HORFORD WORTH THE MAX?

    A lot better Horford, and by far the best player on the team with the highest upside

    Dam, you coming at me like you're missing crack. Tell me, how many Jalen Green trade rumors have you heard outside of Clutchfans? Also, where have you seen me make anything up? Everything I mentioned actually happened. The truth is you're not mad at me. You're mad at the organization for dam near proving me right. Now, please, do continue on with your mouth foaming tirade.

    Where have I said anything about Jalen Green rumours? Straw men arguments won't work on me. You called me a SOF, I flat out told you you don't get to make up bullshit about me when most people would probably call me a Jalen only fan. Are you deliberately being stupid or is this actually your level of comprehension of the world around you? You're a bell end mate, you're literally arguing a point I'm not even making you dumbcunt.

    I disagree. He had a verey good yr, last season but the highest ceiling, no way!

    I think Jalen, Cam, Amen, and Jabari have higher ceilings. All four are 2-way players.

    We know why you disagree. The issue is literally nothing supports your erroneous opinion.
