I've never heard this be an issue with any other good player in the league. Not allstar, just good player...
There is an objective source: https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/duranke01.html Look under Play-by-Play section Those are estimates
I don’t pay attention to any reports, because they are all BS. Everything is leaked to further the position of the leaker, not to be truthful. How do you know they are trying to replace Jalen? From some Phoenix connected reporter? I think the Rockets will listen to offers for everyone on the team other than Amen, that’s different from wanting to replace everyone on a team. A few weak minded emotional haters will latch on to “reports”, most of which are just wild ass guesses or purposefully leaked by teams to try and get an upper hand. Hell, I don’t know for sure that Amen is off limits. It is idiotic to trade a 23 year old that has flashed greatness at times and shot 40% on spot up 3’s instead of a 31 year old short, slow, poor shooting PG that ranks among the bottom 10 starting pg’s in the league. I don’t think they are that stupid, but I could easily be wrong.
Who do you trust, his irrational emotional attachment to one of the worst SG's in the NBA or literally all reporting on the subject?
Funny cuz they both old past their prime stars. At least with Melo it didn't cost us assets. We all know how the Melo signing worked out.
I don’t have any intuition on a Durant trade, other than Amen and Sengun are untouchable in that particular trade. I have no idea what the Rockets are willing to give up. I’m just saying that most of the reports until the last minutes are intentionally leaked or are just made up BS, with the hope that they will get it right (just like the trade propositions Clutch fan members put together). We are all talking about these trades using our own intuition as are these reporters. If they don’t produce content, they don’t get paid. My “intuition” tells me you are believing the reports that support your opinions as opposed to those that don’t.
Ok, what reports say Jalen isn’t part of the deal? I'm going by Ime hand choosing FVV and Brooks. I don't see him wanting to move one of his leaders... That leaves Sengun and Green. Process of elimination... Looking forward to seeing who is reporting the Rockets are offering Brooks, FVV, or Sengun... I had not seen that.... Link is fine...
So delusional. The Spurs were never going to give up the # 2 pick and especially not for Durant’s old ass. Just take the Minny deal so we can get ANT once Durant bolts.
One report recently said that the Rockets offered Jalen and Jabari and the Suns rejected it, because they didn’t want Jalen. How many reports came out that SA was a slam dunk and already had a deal in place? How many came out and said Minnesota was odds on favorite? Today’s odds made the Rockets the favorite? Which report do you believe and which do you not? That’s the point. You, me, and your dumbass buddy BTG have no clue on what the trades are. One thing I have logically concluded is that one of Jalen or FVV have to be included in the trade to make a reasonable amount of contracts going to Phoenix in return. In the end, I think we lose out on Durant, because the Rockets won’t give up FVV and Phoenix doesn’t want a SG, because Booker is not a good pg.
