Durant traded to Houston for Green, Brooks, #10 pick, and multiple 2nd rounders

Jalen Green is a scrub who is addition by subtraction and the Rockets already have a 22 year old center who is better already than Malauch will ever be.

 

He averaged 27 ppg last season on .54/.43/.84 splits. Yes, he is worth 56 mil.

 

LOL at that tweet saying the new Suns GM is COOKING

with that starting lineup, whatever he’s cooking isn’t edible

he’s cooking mayo pasta and undercooked, unseasoned chicken breast

 

Some people are like....nuts man lol.

"Is the guy who is still the greatest shooter alive worth 50+? I mean....*snort*....I dont think so....we could've had a 7-2 stiff and some guy that fell into the second round from St. Joseph's to go with one of the most inefficient shooting guards of the past decade."

The reality is that none of the pieces given up for Durant will ever....ever....make a team a title contender like Durant immediately did.

 

He's cooking up a 25 win team.

 

It’s bizarre. Now the sentiment is that the suns were winners in the draft and the suns return was actually really good for “washed old” KD needing an extension

 

he's certainly not cooking a succulent chinese meal.

 

I think the "Warriors", who are allowed to be physical and get favored critical calls against the Rockets over the past decade skewed Jalen Greens performance a bit. Not completely letting Jalen off the hook but he probably would have done better against any other team in the league in a playoff series.

 

Funny how they didn't seem to skew Sengun's performance.

 

Sure, but he didn't play against the Warriors every game for 4 years. My opinion of him is based on the 307 games he played for the Rockets in the regular season, not the additional 7 against the Warriors in the playoffs.

 

Jalen at least knows how to operate when a team roster is dysfunctional. He got tons of practice at that in H-town.

 

OKC is the worst in the league when it comes to being overly physical on defense and they aren't going away for at least 3-4 years until maybe salaries get too bloated. So assuming the Rockets do need to beat OKC to win a title, they need players who can make shots over physical defenses.

 

Oh, they did. Notice how in the losses Sengun had trouble rebounding and scoring at the rim because he was allowed to be manhandled without repercussions by mainly but not solely Draymond Green. Basketball players lie their weight and Alperen is easily closer to 280-290 lbs of muscle mass and height. Jalen was physically guarded and prevented from getting the ball most of the time.

 

Draymond wrestled Tari Eason to the ground and gave a roundhouse with the leg and b**** smacked him in the back of the head only to try to apologize later. He did the same thing to Jalen Green a couple games later. Draymond Green and the Warriors know they can violate the Rockets at any time and the league has their back. Don't add up the fouls but look at the games as a whole and the favored critical calls.

 

Sure, which is why I don't base anything on those 7 games. I base my opinion on the other 307 games.

 

All of our players b****ed out in that series, we deserved to lose. For all that toughness and how Ime loved how we had fights and all that, we showed none of it.

 

Sengun played well.

 

Good thing we have 4 years of evidence beyond that playoff series then.

 

On a side note, he only played 62 games and I expect he won't play more games per season the rest of his career.
