    This squad doesn't get out the first round.

    Especially if it came to acquiring him with Sengun and salary matching. Stone would be, well, stoned. To death. For such a trade.

    It would never happen. I was mentioning NY's only remaining trade chip, Randle, hence, NY can covet Sengun all they want. Typical big-market clickbait for a sportswriter to mention NY's interest in Sengun, as if we would hand him over with no commensurate compensation.

    And the Kings went from 12th in the West to 3rd in Sabonis’ first year there.

    Let's trade Sengun to accommodate Jalen Green. Let's trade Capela the running rim center to accommodate Westbrook.

    How would trading Sengun accommodate Jalen? They play great together, it's FVV's style that clashes with Jalen's, not Alpi's.

    Where's the sarcasm? The person I quoted literally posted the one in relation to the other like there was a comparison. Trading Capela actually was a pro-Westbrook move. Don't read the English language much?

    You’re contradicting yourself now. You could have just said he’s the exception if you wanted. Now that we’re here what about Joker?

    Honestly I had no clue who you were talking to or whom the subject was until your reply but what caught my eye was “no max to one way player”.

    I thinks age, like LeBron. He hasn't been 1st option in LA since AD.

    I thought somethings were self explanatory, like Curry and Joker being exceptionally great offensive players. They are exceptions to the rule.

    Players like Buddy Hield are great 3pt shooters but they don't offer anything else.

    Curry and Joker are great passers and three level scorers; basket, mid-range and 3pt line. They are generational talents. Sengun and Sabonis are good but they just aren't in the cateragory, that's why I wouldn't pay them the max.

    I’m glad you clarified your statement. I don’t necessarily agree but I respect your position.

    Its amazing how many people think the Kings are good!! @AroundTheWorld, @cmoak1982, and @Dobbizzle.

    I guess if your standards are to lose in the 1st or 2nd rnd every yr that's successful....I want the Rockets to win a championship

    We're not always correct, we don't all have to agree. Its good to have a differences of opinions.

    One thing is pretty clear, neither Jalen Green or Alperen Sengun can be discussed without the thread going toxic.

    They’ve been better than the Pacers, who with your ridiculous logic we should get rid of Alp for an even lesser player than Hali.

    Sabonis would literally be better than any player on the Rockets outside of Alp
