    No idea what you are trying to say. I was born in the early 80's. I'm very much an xennial. Growing up we never saw workout pics of Rockets players in the off season, so I'm not sure why you are claiming pics or didn't happen?

    In any event, off season workouts don't really matter. It only matters if improvements show up during the season and post season.

    Sengun on 38M is better than Chet and JDub on 50M.

    I'm not sure that's a bad idea anyway. Sounds like a great idea to me, those are the kinds of trips that turn into big bonding experiences for a team and brings them tighter together. You hear these stories from players and ex-players on the podcasts of them vising European team mates at home and you can see how much closer that makes them. I think it'd be awesome for the Rockets to do a summer in Türkiye every now and then whilst Alpi's one of our stars.

    Alpi trains with FVV? No wonder his layups went down the toilet.

    Turkey is top 6 in foreign tourist destinations. Istanbul top 5 cities visited. Antalya top 12. They should visit and see the center of the world.

    Let's say they all make 50 million, I'd still take sengun over both of them.

    When I visited Turkey I got dysentery - pretty much crapped my way through central Anatolia. Really sucked

    I think Ime secretly wants Alpi to be a PF
    Particularly if Sengun begins to develop an outside shot and pair him with either Adams or Capela as center fulltime
    Think a bigger and better version of the Horford-Time Lord front court

    If we kept the 10th pick and drafted Yang Hansen Sengun could def play PF.

    If this is consistent, and off the bounce, that’s gonna open things up nicely
