If that’s the offer it is easily the best. Durant will be really upset if they trade him without his approval and it will hurt the Suns in pursuits of other veterans, but I think they would take that gamble.
Jalen has been getting all the shot attempts he wants and can barely manage averaging a measly 20 points on garbage efficiency dudes be talking like Jalen is some premier scorer and offensive weapon… “no one else on this team is going to get u 35+ in a playoff game”…from a dude who just gave us 13 ppg on 37% shooting in the postseason
Out of that trio the Heat are the easiest to budge bc they are not relevant right now after Butler left. SA can always sell to their fans that they go with Harper and Castle unless a Haliburton deal comes along just for instance. Or a younger Siakam.
IDK if SA really wants Durant and they spill the beans about his Number 1 destination being the Alamo, then they can just wait it out. And play with the number of picks.......one hour 1 pick more, next hour 1 or 2 picks less.
Of course he is inefficient, he’s out there with FVV, Dillon Brooks, and two players who can’t shoot from outside of ten feet. The offensive personnel he is surrounded by is amongst the worst in the league. The primary ball handler is a 5’10” PG who can’t play-make and shoots 38% from the field. Jalen stunk in the playoffs and has a lot he needs to improve on, but the Rockets are doing him no favors with the complete lack of offensive threats they have surrounded him with.
Well, like they say.....There's a SUCKER or a FOOL born every minute. If someone is willing to give up Jalen, #10 and Landale, you have to question their mental stability
Jalen has no go-to move, no midrange game, no floater, too weak to finish consistently in traffic, can’t hit threes off the dribble, doesn’t know how to draw fouls at some point the excuses gotta stop
Amen / Green / KD / Bari / Sengun is a WCF team to me Fred / Amen / KD / Jabari/ Sengun might have trouble making playoffs. Fred / Amen do not sound like a good backcourt & few to many injuries between Fred & KD has us fighting in a tight west for a playoff spot. Also have 3 non shooters is Amen, Sengun, and basically Fred
This is a really stupid take. So, not overpaying for a 37-yr-old KD is “pathetic”? Lol. Some of y’all, man. Ridiculous.
I get that there is a lot of hate on Jalen Green especially after his playoff performance but the guy is like 15 years younger than Durant, surely Jalen can net the Rockets a better package that would be suited to a longer term outlook rather than 1 or 2 years.
Green will always be valued higher within his own fanbase...... The Rockets should focus on Booker even if Booker is unattainable, should not even be in the discussion, Durant knowingly put them in there.
the thing is, if they took that offer they could sell Jalen as a young player with legit star potential. And they could stoke excitement about the #10 pick. Jalen averaged 30 points against the Suns over his last 5 games. They might like him more than they are letting on.
Jalen, Jabari, Reed, and #10 for a possible one-year rental who we'd be lucky to get 60 games out of? GTFO
