The whole x player is the franchise guy threads are annoying.

You mean the Blip?

 

This thread is going to be laughed at in 3 years when the Rockets have re-signed Franchise players Sengun, Green, and Tari to max contractswhile franchise players FVV has to leave due to capspace, franchise player Brooks is pouting to get a new extension, and the Rockets need to figure out how to pay franchise player Amen and Sheppard as they are looking to get paid, with franchise player Jack McVeigh feeling disrespected.

 

We're capable of winning 11 games with him not playing, he's not

 

11 games in a row with him out isn't a endorsement as the franchise. He just had 2 years offensively. The team played better WITHOUT him

 

Can you elaborate

 

C'mon, I get that you have almost nothing to go on and you are grasping for straws, but literally no one believes that narrative.

Why not talk about how the Rockets won 7 in a row behind Gary Bird and Christian Wood?

There has never been a time in Sengun's career that he was a net negative for the team when on the court over the course of the season.

There has never been a time in Jalen Green's career that he was a net positive for the team when on the court over the course of a season.

Talking about the 11 games within the 8 game hot shooting streak of Jalen Green as "evidence" that the team is better off without Sengun is flat out dumb and I refuse to believe literally anyone here is that feeble minded.....so just stop.

 

Knew it, you were part of history.

 

These were annoying before they were annoying.
But to be fair and I hate to say it, they kept us busy and hating throughout the long offseason. So...theres that.

 

Random thought maybe we need a coach that can put ALL the players together into one scheme getting the best out of each of them. Mike D’Antoni revolutionize the league , three different times. Taking what was in front of him and making art (chicken salad). We all need to stop thinking this player can only play one way and that player can’t play with one. I know coaches have different gifts but maybe it’s time to bring in an offensive coordinator type.

 

The original "franchise player" thread was started about our actual franchise player Alpi by @AroundTheWorld . The others are poor attempts to mock the original and I agree they are aggravating. Some may think ATW started that thread too soon but Alpi continues to prove he was spot on to start it. Alpi's doubters are few and far between these days.

 

lol

 

First off, why are you bringing up Jalen Green? I just mentioned us winning 11 games in a row without Sengun & a few other players and you came in whining about Jalen. Back to Sengun..There is no indication Sengun's going to lead us anywhere. He has good post moves but slows the offense down which affects the team. If we want to play faster it'll be with a stretch big that'll open up the lanes and Sengun's not that guy

 

Oh, am I supposed to pretend that wasn't what you were trying to say? Okay, I'll play along.

Why whine about Sengun not being a stretch 5 when we don't even have a shooting guard who can shoot?

Isn't it good enough that Sengun is the best player on the team?

 

The "core 7" are not the same at all.

This is a ridiculous statement: "all have potential to be great but also could flounder within the next 3 years"

Simple question: Out of these 7, as of today, who do you think gets the max on the free market, if any team could sign that guy for the max?

Let me tell you: Only one of them.

 

No. The question about a max contract didn't call for action until now at the earliest. There are plausible salary cap reasons to wait until next year.

If you feel alienated by a fan stating his opinion, maybe this site isn't for you.

 

I disagree with Op's premises. It's great to have those franchise players thread because people discuss topics about the players in their respective players' thread, instead of having thousand of topics about the same players all over the places. Also, It's okay to follow the Rockets because you like the whole team, the organization, certain player, or even the dancers. America is a relatively free country afterall.

 

Maybe but it shows there is a lack of creativity with all threads having similar names......

 

Nah, this site is definitely for him, dude is iconic in his own way.

There are thousands of lurkers here who do not partake in these threads, and are welcome in this forum.

Diversity should be celebrated and not stymied.
