    I don't think they are stuck with him ..... but teams that are trying to win won't want him. The only teams that will take him are those that are tanking and will take a chance on what's left of his potential.

    Could see him as matching salary for a big trade.

    Jalen was so ****ing passive on offense tonight. Every starter took more shots. I just can't explain his lack of aggression.

    Single digits six out of seven games is a massive ****ing problem.

    He doesnt need to apologise, cause most of us expected he would play around this level. It's his fukn fanbase who need to apologize, all throughout the year having a go at anyone who criticizes JG and points out the obvious and using lame ass excuses.

    I just hope we're able to still get some kind of return on Green, because right now he looks like a huge negative value compared to his contract. I don't want us to have to lose other stuff to get out from under it...

    It’s simple. He’s a ****in p***y. No star in any sport is a passive aggressive, paint my nails black, DBAG.

    This tweener, soft loser, is why the NBA ratings suck.

    He actually doesn't need to .....his fans should just run over to the next prospect......

    He should demand a trade.

    I mean he wa never the same after Draymond made fun of his in front of everyone on the court for painting his nails. You can't come back from that after playing worse overall since that moment.

    Fertits has money. Just cut him and give him his min owed on the contract and move on. All he wanted was money. I’ve sat here, as much as all Rockets fans have, and hoped he would finally get it. That fairy just played us. Rip the bandaid off and move on.

    The cap will go up by 10% this offseason. Jalen will be making half the money of the highest-paid players. I don't think his contract is untradeable, but I think his next stop is probably a tanking team where he can try again to be the #1A and get one more shot at putting it together. He can't be that on a contending team.

    There won't be a fair deal because Jalen has not raised his value......I wouldn't say the regular season was catastrophic ......

    Probably a bottom team's first prize.

    In the first half, the insistence on playing zone defense was absurd and made it very easy for Buddy Hield to score. Additionally, it prevented the Worriors from getting tired. We started the third quarter very well, and the lead was cut down to 3 points. Then, with some early foolish substitutions, we lost the momentum. On top of that, Alperen was forgotten on the bench. Very poor performance by Ime.

    Average 9 points a game over 6 games.

    Put up 8 pts, 4 rb, 1 ast, 0 st in a game 7.

    Pathetic

    Nah I think he's basically what Andrew Wiggins value was in Minny. Maybe a great team will try to rehab him into a warriors Jordan Poole type of player.

    Look, I'm kinda done with Jalen, but I want to push back on this. If he was just in it for the money, he wouldn't have played 82 games this season. He was clearly playing through injury at multiple points. He wants to succeed, he just doesn't have "it".

    He is a good kid, he is a good basketball player, but it takes more than that when you're a skinny 6'4" guard with mediocre basketball IQ / court vision. He's probably Jordan Clarkson, Jamal Crawford, etc. With a bit better defense! He will have his footnote in NBA history.

    But it's probably time for the Rockets to move on.

    He was scared. You know who’s not scared of scoring? Cam whitmore.
