    It would sadden me if Sengun is traded.

    The only thing this says is they like the double big line ups and how it opens up room for Durant and Alpi to operate from the high post.

    What about the 5xl lineup on nights Durant gets the load management.

    Aquaman
    Capela
    Jabari
    Amen
    Sengun


    But I do hope they load manage at least 2 starters on back to backs including Sengun's back. And day games before 5pm.

    What is the point of this? Sengun at PF or Sengun being traded?

    I returned the BBS and figured this is a necrobump. WTF?

    Giannis roster fell around him

    You have no interest in sitting through a rebuild....................which is what we are doing at the moment. We are not trading Amen.

    The question is, are you prepared to wait 4 years until Amen and Alpi are just hitting their prime to compete for a title? That is if the Durant plan doesn't work

    We had three centers last year. And Capela comes cheaper than Landale.

    You could characterize the move as somewhat freakish….

    Veteran leadership and defence is what they got in that deal.

    Did KD come for the young supporting cast or he knew behind the scenes we were setting up for giannis?

    Sengun is on a sweetheart deal for quite a while. Considering what he could become trading him literally makes zero sense. Sengun is going nowhere.

    Finally! What I’ve always wanted to see realized is happening!

    PG - Durant
    SG - Jabari Smith Jr.
    SF - Alperen Sengun
    PF- Clint Capela
    C - Steven Adams

    Unstoppable.

    Rockets going for the Super Size Lineup

    PG - Alperen Sengun (6-11)
    SG - Kevin Durant .....(6-11)
    SF - Jabari Smith Jr ....(6-10)
    PF - Clint Capela .......(6-10)
    ..C - Steven Adams ...(6-11)

    That will be their lineup when they need a stop at the end of a game.
