JG was the main piece to get Kevin freaking Durant, one of the best players ever. Last year Reed had 4 pts on 35% FG, while Jalen actually won us games (often against bad teams but a win is a win). Jalen actually improved a lot, he was shooting 36% from 3 in high volume and 82% from ft line for most of the season. This whole "inconsistent minutes" is a lie. Reed always got mins, but after 12 mins of bad play he will be benched. You want Rox to play him 30 mins no matter how bad he plays? If only due to inconsistent mins why was Reed percentages so bad? Look at Steve Nash and Devin Booker rookie year their percentages were still decent even with limited time. Reed is showing a lot of promise now but we need to consistently see it in real games.
He was a scrub we forced on them that they initially rejected.... but ultimately realized they had no choice but to accept because they had no leverage. It's adorable that you are still desperately trying to spin for your favorite draft bust though.
Yeah a bust that got extended to 35m a year. Wanna bet 100 usd Reed doesnt make that much on his rookie extension?
LOL, now you are basing everything on the contract he got? The Rockets were trying to dump him for over a year before they finally forced him on the Suns.....the Suns who wanted other players like Sheppard instead. If the Rockets looked to move other young players, like Sheppard, Tari, Jabari, Sengun, or Amen, they wouldn't struggle to find anyone interested like they did with Jalen.
Ok so in short you are too scared to take the bet after running your mouth so long. SYBAU You are the anti-KD cant back up what you say with actions.
I have no idea what kind of contract extension he's going to get....I can talk about quality, not contracts. The reality is that the Suns would have been MUCH happier if Sheppard was in the deal instead of Jalen, but the Rockets said he was off limits.
You said JG is a bust and Reed is your guy. So your guy cant even get paid more than the bust? Look man I dont have time to go on a toxic fest with you if you cant even believe in Reed to say he will be worth more than JG you dont have a right to say JG is a bust unless you think Reed is a bust as well. Just basic logic.
I say your boyfriend is a bust because he's a bust. Have fun watching him in Phoenix. I don't gamble about contract extensions years before they happen. Often contracts aren't what players are "worth", it's just what they get. Part of the reason Phoenix absolutely wanted nothing to do with your boyfriend is that his contract pays him something like twice what he's worth.
Blah blah blah at the end of the day you just can't put your money where your mouth is cuz you are scared of being wrong. You can write a telenovela for all I care at the end of the day you can't back it up.
So you have no faith in Reed Sheppard? Thinks he'll make less than the bust? It is what it is. I have 100% confidence Amen will make more than Jalen Green, can bet 10k usd on it. Too bad for all those posts you dont have even 1% confidence in Reed.
Normal people don't go on faith when it comes to player projections. You do because of an unhealthy emotional attachment to a draft bust. In his next contract, Reed Sheppard should make more than what Green was given, but a lot can happen between now and then ask there's no guarantee.
Blah blah blah you can make all the excuses in the world at the end of the day yiu just cant put your money where your mouth is.
Lol, I'm not emotionally attached to any player like you are to your boyfriend, of course I'll act more rationally than you.
He got extended SOLELY because he would have had less trade value as an expiring. I knew the writing was on the wall for a trade the second I saw the terms of the deal. It was as close to a “make good” contract as you could possibly get disguised as a max contract. In retrospect, Stone deserves a LOT of credit for that one. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that’ll also be the last max deal JG gets.
JG never got max deal though so I have no clue what you are even saying. His deal is less than Sengun and Sengun also took less than the max. And yes Stone deserves a lot of credit for his contract and cap management ability. I believe Jabari Smith is the only straight up 5 yr contract he has signed without some kind of wrinkle....prob because Jabari signed for a bargain.
Nah it just means you talk a lot of BS but cant even back it up. All that "basketball adult" talk and you shrink when its time to put up or shut up. I expected more from you considering how much BS you say on a daily basis.
Sure thing kid, whatever you say. Do Rockets fans a favor and stick to the dish with your Jalen worship.
You are the kid you cant afford to make a bet cuz your mommy didnt you give you any allowance. Run along now kid let the adults talk.
