    A lot of us did.

    At least we got Sengun who was actually worthy of the #2 pick.

    I think it's a good bet that KD will still be a better player than Jalen Green in a couple of years. He might still be better in 5 years.

    It will be nice not to have to wish the best for Jalen Green while secretly expecting failure. I'll troll the Suns boards occasionally to read how much their fans wish they weren't stuck with his contract.

    Rafael Stone not only corrected his greatest mistake (the JG contract) but used it to bring in a perfect, short-term solution to our roster. It's a great day to be Rafael Stone and Ime Udoka.

    True, every player has only fans. However, acting like only Sengun is the only player with "only fans" is also delusion at best, disingenuous at worst. Which is what the JG cult likes to say.

    Exactly, Mathloom is the kind of Rockets fan who truly wanted JG to succeed, but not at the cost of the team or other players, unlike the JOFs out there. Feel sorry for him, shame he backed the wrong horse.

    It's pretty funny
    2024 - Porzingis, very slow plodding center (though with range)
    2023 - Jokic
    2022 - draymond, not slow
    2021 - lopez, the slowest there is
    2020 - davis, slow/plodding
    2019 - gasol, slow/plodding
    the warriors with bogut - slow/plodding

    too lazy to keep going but ya....utter nonsense

    Never bought any of that non sense Stone and Ime tried to sell while some latched onto it as gospel. In fact, I maintained that I thought Jalen was getting moved this off season regardless of a Durant deal.

    The writing was always on the wall that they would rather move on from him with the right deal.

    You and me brother, anyone sane who watched the playoffs without tainted glasses saw the problem. I’m not saying Jalen is trash, he just isn’t the number 1 option and he never will be. Rockets had high hopes for him but they saw enough to see it was time to move on and I’m all for it.

    Hey, if there's Green fans that're leaving because he's gone then it's all good right? You all get to have your little victory dance and they don't get to read it because they're gone. Seems like a win win?

    Hey, look on the bright side. If you're right (I don't think you are) then the Suns are such a bad franchise we can probably trade for him back in a couple years when their next iteration doesn't work and he asks out to a better team lol.

    This is definitely an @Margrave burner.

    Having toxic only fans leaving is always good. However, it seems from your words that you still don't like people who think Sengun was our best player (at least until KD arrived). By saying "you all" it implies that there is a divide. At a time we should all be celebrating getting rid of our least productive player and getting a HOF caliber player that can still produce you still don't like Rockets fans of Sengun. Am I wrong? Because your post seems to imply divisiveness instead of unity. Please clarify so we can all understand where you stand.

    Nah, you're reading more into it than was there. "You all" to me is just a turn of phrase that stands in place for "you" I guess. I type how I talk. I have more Sengun jerseys than Green jerseys, no need to get all gestapo on me lmao.

    Understood, wasn't trying to get all gestapo on you as you stated. I was just curious to know what you meant. If you meant that getting rid of a handful of toxic only fans is good then yes, of course. I can think of quite a few toxic fans and I'll be glad if they leave (JG, Sengun, etc.). If you meant that most Sengun fans are toxic simply because they are fans of the player with no other reason that just seems divisive. That's all.

    Show we one place where I said Sengun fans were toxic in our exchanges? That's you projecting. all I said was that Sengun only fans were way more prevalent than any other because no other player had basically all of his home country fans coming in and tied only to him. That's it, there's nothing offensive about it, it's just a fact. You're the one who got all upset about it and read words that weren't there, that's hardly my fault.

    Well, I'm glad you clarified. I'm certain that most of our foreign fans are not toxic, just a few, just like JG has toxic fans. I'm glad to know you wouldn't imply that most Sengun fans are from Turkey and that most of them are toxic. Great to know.
