    Brandon Miller is a future #2 guy on a contender and Sengun is already at that level

    I'm trying to understand what the point of these trade rumors is. It's been several. So it's either other teams trying to sow discord or Sengun's agency doing the same. I doubt it's coming from the Rockets.

    How many times does Ime have to tell you SOFs that he is not a fan of Senguns style no matter how good he is? His style does not fit the championship like system that Ime has and is currently trying to implement.

    You forgot one: Sengun+Green+all Suns picks for 1992 Jordan.

    I mean, since reality isn't a consideration. ;)

    Love the Rockets, always have but Im a realist too. Alpi's comp is Sabonis, which Ive ALWAYS said and Miller's comp is Paul George.

    Who would I and most people rather have? I think its Paul George.

    Sabonis (27) 19/13/8 63.7% TS
    PG (27) 22/6/3 57% TS

    Sabonis is mad underrated and I'm not even talking about Pandemic P. He is better than Paul George and a lot more reliable as well. Dude plays with injured ribs PG is Mr. Glass Jr. PG is better at making podcasts though so there's that I guess.

    Spurs say they hope he clears waivers.....then re-sign him to two-way contract.

    I don't mind him on two-way contract, just saying, lol

    Yeah I agree.. it’s not Sengun’s talent, it’s based on fit and style of play. I wouldn’t trade Sengun tho, we need to see this through imo

    Must I go through this again? Okay, for the people way in the back.
    When Ime was first hired there was a rumor that came out saying Ime didn't like Senguns style of play and rumors like that don't just come out of nowhere.
    Second, Ime almost immediately goes after Lopez before the season even started but lost out.
    Third, Rockets get Steven Adams, a still capable starting big man, in a trade during the season.
    Fourth, there was a recent rumor that the Rockets and/or Pels were discussing a trade sending B. Mills here for Sengun. Again, where theres smoke.....
    Finally yet another rumor of the Rockets discussing trading Alpi to NY.
    How many clues do yall need? I can't read minds but I dam sure can read signs.

    You think that. That isn’t correct at all.

    Ime is not going to come right out and say something like this. But he has been leaving bread crumbs this whole time.

    I heard there's a rumor you dream about Ellen Degeneres every night. I know you won't come out and admit it but where there's smoke...

    Rockets wanting a backup center for Alpi is not really a sign of anything. Knicks obviously see Jalen Brunson as their pg but they also got Tyler Kolek in the draft. Omg does this mean they hate Brunson? lol wtf

    Yeah I posted the other day, novelty of having Sengun is this notion that Sengun is Pete Havlicek at Center....
    which means what to me? Should result in 4 or 6 more assists per game for the team?

    per Statmuse (23/24) Rockets team assists per game:

    with Sengun = 24.8 team assists
    without Sengun = 24.8 team assists

    So WhyTF are we sacrificing rim protection and space and pace from our center position
    with no clear advantage in our assist game with Sengun?

    This sounds like when the Sengtards maintained that Green was 100% done with the team and gone by the deadline. Don't project your biases on to the organisation when there's been nothing of the sort. Much like Green, I've heard mostly positives about Sengun from Ime, especially regarding his future with the team.

    Come on, now.

    The Knicks want Sengun, sure, but have nothing outside Julius Randle to offer. Uh....no.

    The Pels want Sengun, and of course they would offer an overpriced wants-a-big-raise small forward. Why would we make that deal?

    The Rockets acquired Adams, sure, because we were thin at backup center (although Landale then stepped up fairly well in Sengun's absence).

    Sure, we went after Lopez, but Sengun made a big jump under Udoka when the deal fell through.

    We may very well look to trade Sengun, perhaps, maybe, but I think the "smoke" you see is personal wish fulfillment.
