    this.

    And also, weird timing for this thread when the last title winners were the Nuggets, who have a center that is very much in the mold of Sengun (albeit older and better)

    Don't you think our offense is bad because Sengun's defensive lapses cause our offensive rhythm to break down?

    I think you and your other account should be banned my dude. Both created at January 12th and using reverse psychology to gather sympathy for Sengun.

    Who do you think can stay on the field during the play offs?

    100%! This guy knows what he is talking about. Trade Sengun for Gobert now!

    Amen, Ja Green, Brooks, Bari and Gobert is a championship caliber team. JVV and Cam can come off the bench and relieve Amen and Ja Green since games will already become too lopsided in the 2nd quarter...

    In fact, when this trade happens, I expect Silver to suspend the rest of the season and hand out the trophy to Rafael Stone. No meaning in playing the rest of the season.

    Any admin on this site can enter into the control panel and see that I am not the other guy.

    Of course, as a Rockets fan from Turkey (and I've never hidden it), under normal circumstances, I'd like to gather sympathy for Sengun. But I don't do that on this site. Sengun doesn't need sympathy with reverse psychology. His stats on the field and the hype he created speak for themselves.
    Release Sengun to the free market and see what happens next.

    But I hope you don't expect me to start a proper argumentation with a troll whose superstar is Amen.

    Jokic is not as divisive as Sengun because of how good he is on defense. He is a very underrated defensive player, I have literally never seen anybody dunk on him.

    The current team I mentioned, for example, can Jalen Green stay? can it stay amen? He can't shoot. Also, most of these players cannot stay on the field
    zubac valenciunass, they can never stay on the field, Alperen is a player who will almost be an all star, I think trading Alperen for Biyombo is the stupidest thing in the world

    No. I think we would be an all-time awful offense if you replaced Sengun with a traditional rim protector, and our defense would not benefit as many here expect.

    Not so sure about Jalen yet but Biyombo is capable of starting and Sengun brings a bit of spark off the bench (10-15 Minutes, Landale role)
    No need to trade Sengun for him.

    This is the dumbest idea I’ve ever read on this board.

    I don't think your explanation would end any of the controversy around Sengun, because we should see more evidence of how impactful it is. Not sure if we have enough evidence to confirm.

    Sengun has an excellent defensive rating of 110. Teams consistently go nuts from the parameter on us. We can’t be seem to hit a shot from deep, and the only offense we consistently create is using Sengun as a hub. But sure, he’s the problem.

    I’ve seen it when the morons running this organization decided to start Bruno over Sengun.

    OK. Let's be serious...

    First of all:


    Now, let's come back to rim protection. You care about rim protection? Then find a proper backup for Jabari. Alpi and Jabari are the two halves of the same apple.
    Unfortunately, Jabari was injured. Our defensive and offensive rebounds dropped dramatically.
    The game against the Nets is a reminder of how important Jabari is to the team.
    In summary, do you want rim protection? Find decent backups to handle things when Alpi or Jabari are injured.
