    Maybe a handful at most.
    What’s for sure is you aren’t a rockets fan.

    I mean if he is available....you go get him,,,, we have redundancy all over our roster at the wing position.

    We can give up a couple of wings and bring in Zion - and a couple of picks....

    And be a better team overall

    Say something like Green and Brooks and 2 FRPs for Zion.

    And hit go.

    Real weird way of showing it.
    You hate on without debate, our best young player, constantly.
    Wanting to trade him for a player who is always hurt and that is at best a lateral move in Zion, along with bashing him nonstop in multiple threads really shows “love”
    You’re not a Rockets fan

    Quite wild to accuse a guy with the name hakeemthegreat probably paying homage to the best Rockets ever of not being a rockets fan simply bc he isn't praising sengun or riding the sengun train.

    Man could b a sengun hater and rockets fan. Those exists u know.

    You're so blinded by love for Jalen Green that you resent those who recognize Alperen Sengun is the better, more fundamentally sound player.

    We all hope to see that best Jalen Green from day one next season, not the version that plays great only when Sengun is hurt. We hope.

    That last statement is an oxymoron.
    You can’t simultaneously be a Rockets fan and hate our best player.
    And he doesn’t deserve that name if he doesn’t support ALL the Rockets.
    The stuff he says is pure asinine.

    So basically, this logic says that if you:
    Hate on without debate one of our talented young players, constantly.
    Want to trade them for players that are maybe always hurt, a lateral move or objectively a worse move along with bashing them nonstop in multiple threads regardless of whether the thread was about them or not in the first place.
    Then you're not a Rockets fan?

    I ****ing love the irony you know, it's actually incredible. I agree though, 100%. There's a lot of non-Rockets fans on CF.

    I think the difference here is that the guy you think is a "talented young player" is actually hot garbage by every measure. Even worse, you care more about that hot garbage than the best interest of the Rockets.

    You could dump that hot garbage for no return whatsoever and make the Rockets better.


    That's the exact opposite of those who baselessly hate on Sengun, the Rockets best player.

    Not sure what you’re talking about honestly, I haven’t ever said trade Jalen or any current young core

    You know, while I would normally be against it but upon further consideration, I would go for a Zion deal centered around Brooks and Jalen. Zion's contract actually isn't that bad and the move allows promising younger guys to get more playing time even if Zion doesn't work out.....and if he does, you have a superstar surrounded by young talent.

    I wouldn’t trade Jabari for Zion at this point. Jabari’s stock is about to rise for Team Select . To me Jabari is the ideal modern power forward. He just needs to work on his handles in putting the ball on the floor.

    im convinced Bari takes another big step this year. It takes young bigs longer who are still just growing into their bodies. By year 4 we are going to know what Bari is, as opposed to where we are with say…Jalen.

    Why do you want to ruin the Rockets by getting a max player that can’t stay on the court and never will? One of your dumber ideas.
