    Amen still has those stat padded games vs the suns and ADless mavs to show for. Feel like we could be able to at leaset package him as the main foce.

    Like KD said…it’s all about making shots. I don’t feel that Amen has a repeatable go-to offense move. He’s great a rifting out there but struggles once defenses pack the paint.

    Why would you trade amen for Giannis at this stage? Amen ceiling is through the roof. He has the tools to be a top 10 player. If we give up on him so early it'll come back to bite us in the ass

    Amen CONTINUES to fool this franchise. He cannot shoot, pass, and has regressed on defense. This is as good as he will be.

    He cant pass? Regressed on defense how? What are you watching. He had a few bad games and yall losers are giving up on him. Loser mentality

    I got destroyed for suggesting we should trade for Giannis because as currently built, I don't believe we can beat OKC even if we're healthy.

    I guess we'll find out if we wasted another decade of playing to be second place or not.

    Amen can’t shoot, has a weak handle, and doesn’t have the IQ to play PG. Yet, he has the tools to be a top 10 player? What sense does that make.

    Giannis averaged more turnovers and less assists at age 23 as Amen. Giannis is near Westbrook, Harden level in turnovers

    I do think though, that if Giannis is available to you, you almost have to take it. Top 3-5 in MVP voting the past few years and still playing at peak form

    Amen is just an defensive role player bro, what kind of an illusion you all fans have about Amen?
    You saw athleticism and he is top 10 player?
    Nobody says that we should give up , but hey be calm and logical, this kids best offense is his cuts and those cuts are created by Sengun's prodigy level passing,court vision.
    The basketball ignorant fans overvaluing raw athleticism before structured basketball iq produces this illusion(Same thing was JG experience).
    Amen is a great, defensive role player, maybe at best 4th or 5th offensive power in a good NBA team,thats all.
    This is something great, but top 10 player
    This is stupid...

    That's a reach. For the life of me I can't figure out why he never managed to develop at least a mid range game. He's not really a pg. He should be a SF. He can only play defense as the NBA allows. This definitely isn't as good as he can be. Look at Pippen

    Giannis devalues himself. He cannot shoot either

    Amen Thompson can shoot the corner 3 point shot, has a Euro Step Jumper or Euro layup, a floater.

    The Corner 3, midrange, Free Throw form improved. Amen needs to continue working with former player Mike Miller especially.
