I am rolling on the floor laughing watching countless posters parrot “It was ALWAYS OBVIOUS that a player of his type would take years to develop…” when they were the same people spreading all the “Most NBA ready player!” propaganda that you’ve already mentioned. It’s truly hysterical
Jalen is a low BBall IQ player....time to trade him and let other teams develop him find someone still sucking like Detroit and see if you can get Ivey or something like that or trade him and all the Brooklyn picks for Lamelo..... Got to find something better. DD
Someone needs to convince Anthony Edwards that he wants out of Minnesota and his only destination of choice is Houston. I would trade Green and an ungodly amount of picks for Ant
Offense has been stagnate because the team is trying to get him going. Basically the team and mainly Sengun is deferring to him.
Hahahaha GSW shipped Poole why would they want another Poole? He doesn't have court vision, can't pass, can't shoot he's not a Kerr player. Kid has subpar bbiq. Ones that get better with age are the ones who already have good fundamentals. Fans are like "If he fixes his shot, plays defense, fixes his tunnel vision, improves his handles, improves his decision making, bulks up, grows 2 inches he'll become a monster. He's only 19!". Some flaws are there to stay. You can't go from 0 to 100 in any sports not just in basketball. You watch a 19 yo football player who has a poor first touch and 10 years later you watch him again and he still can't control the ball. Green has just too many flaws to become Booker.
Ivey is not a good player. He’s a glorified Josh Christopher…..Look, I was against trading Jalen before but I am okay now with whatever direction the organization decides to go in. However if we keep him, signing him to a maximum contract would be a mistake.
I don't like Green one bit, but if we trade him where do we get points? This team is anemic offensively, particularly the bench units. Ime's postgame sounds a bit Thibs-lite... We do need to be physical and bring-in effort every game, but we also need to score points... Bullock has been such a disappointment. Camen Whitson is probably not a savior... Basically, if we trade Green we better bring back some scoring punch, otherwise I don't think we'll improve materially.
For what we get in return, trading Green would not be worth the resources we've sunk into him. The mistake though would be offering a max contract to him...
They would not trade him this season, we know it is Ime's first year and he would give everyone a fair chance..... Other than that, off season is the time to hash out a plan......what to do next.
People on CF tried to dump any player since the beginning of time. @fchowd0311 But yes, he is only 19, 19 forever.
Ime Udoka I think needs to do a better job, Why in the World do you have Fred VanVleet Running the Pick and Roll with Sengun and Fred throwing up Brick 3s. He was -22. Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun Pick and Roll that includes Jabari Smith. The Rockets need the Triangle Offense on this Team. Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith need to play off of each other. Fred VanVleet being the Head Honcho in Scoring and Passing isn't working. The Team isn't moving Forward In Leads, always start off slow and trailing teams on the Road. Referees will not give the Rockets any calls, might as well not run on the Rockets Side of the Offense. The Free Throw Disparity between the California Teams and the Rockets must be 110 - 20 This Season. Referees has Zero Respect for the Rockets. Alperen Sengun with only 2 Free Throws is a Joke. Alperen Sengun, Jalen Green do get hacked going for layups.
"we ahh, saw a highlights video and boy did he jump high in it" I don't even think it's a joke at this point anymore. They were duped by a highlight video, without a doubt. I've said it before and I'll say it again... it wasn't even a crazy impressive highlight package of his time in the G League either. Check the posts pre-draft - I was dumbfounded about the ranting and raving people were doing on Clutchfans about him.
Some of the younger crowd don't understand this yet, but Jalen Green is the Rockets core. Everyone else just needs to fit in.
Hell yes. They will understand that sooner or later ... but I have seen some of the fans try to trade him for Lamelo... Don't know what to say anymore.
Fred is throwing 3 pointers because he is one of the worst slashers statistically, he has short arms, no athleticism, cannot jump high, his strength is matched by other players easily......
