    He sucked down the stretch and in the playoffs. Sengun is much better than kuminga

    And I thought the young posters had horrible takes.

    There are no shortcuts and the Rockets should stay out of it.

    I believe Kuminga has better two way potential than Sengun, because of his athleticism. Jabari would have to play more as a 5 though with Kuminga and as a 4 with Sengun.

    Both of them are very young. Sengun does have the edge with his experience in playing with the Turkish league.

    Brooklyn would prob rather tank than retool - get some picks, bottom out - rebuild...
    If they have their own picks - thats prob their best option...
    if they dont have their picks - then theres no sense in tanking...
    They may as well plug in journeymen and trot out a middling team...
    If you're not gonna benefit from tanking - which would hopefully lead to future prosperity...
    then u try to get what u can at the gate now for a middling team - and maybe u get lucky...

    So either we hold the pix - which will prob be middle of the pack...
    or we squeeze what we can outta them - so they can optimize those pix by tanking...

    right now, they are fielding deals on KD, figuring out the Kyrie situation... whether or not they have their future pix can play considerably into those decisions...

    we have possible leverage that may or may not be there in the future...

    imo

    Ayton can't be traded from Phoenix until January 15th and he's got the veto option on where he can be sent.

    In a way it's a good thing for the Rockets. This takes off one contender for KD. If other teams low ball him, then the team who will trade for him won't have to overpay the Nets.

    dude your team is blatantly tanking ... literally the worst team in the entire league for 2 years straight and you have no room to criticize others....

    I'm not sure it's not even better. If he isn't traded he isn't going to be happy. Please add disgruntled stars to the mix and let KD be 35 by the time they trade him. it will only hurt his trade value and make them worse in the long term. We got the 17th pick this year with Durant doing his best. How much worse will they be if Durant is checked out?

    whats that got to do with anything? i dont like tanking - but its how the game is played... whats that got to do with the Nets having unrealistic expectations of a return for a short term relationship gone sour - that had required minimal investment (beyond the monetary one)?
    what's the rationale? Is trusting 'the process' a black mark or something?

    Would Toronto really turn down the whole Brooklyn cache and the Bucks pick for Barnes if they were able to get Durant with most or all of those assets?

    I would give up Eason for Barnes in a heartbeat.

    You shouldn't. It's a wash between the two.

    Kuminga isn’t remotely better than Sengun.

    It’s too early to tell. They seem pretty even to me in regards to who will be better.
