    Sengun will be better then. Jokic probably retired by then, anyway.

    Ya if he’s retired sengun will be better for sure. Jokic will get a supermax though so he will still be under contract, doubt he leaves all that money to retire that early though

    There Rockets coaches in Turkey training Sengun three times a day. Sure seems like they prioritize him a whole lot more than we have been told.

    To be fair, it's easier to send three coaches to Turkey than it is to send them to Kentucky.

    Rockets sending 3 coaches should let everyone know if they're intent on maxing him after this season.

    Is he going to watch Transformers?
    I liked the Rise of the Beasts one. Takes place in 1994. Has one of the best score/soundtrack I've heard in a film in years, you know what I'm saying?

    This is some serious unhinged narrative hunting.

    There was never a sizable contingent of rockets media and fans saying this. Talk about a victim complex.

    Majority of the community? No. But the media? Yes. They tried to rationalize insanity instead of questioning it like real journalist would. But then again journalism is dead so that’s par for the course.

    I also would say that for the first two seasons a lot of cfans.net members were ragging on Sengun, calling for scrubs like Bo Mamba and the like to be acquired deep into the offseason and beginning of the third season. It wasn't until this last season when he broke free of Silas that many members finally saw the light. Still, a loud minority including some prominent members are still not fans.

    Is that like a Sengun stan thing where wanting another big on the team means you don't like Sengun?

    It's odd. Most Jalen fanatics don't have that same mindset. Like many wanted Sheppard and didn't see how that is some slight on Jalen Green because we want another guard who can shoot.

    Is it that easy to get offended as a Sengun stan?

    Huge difference between drafting a top 3 pick versus getting random scrubs who never made it in the league. Ala Mo Bamba, Bruno Fernando..

    What? I would say wanting a random scrub is merely signaling you want to solidify depth, maybe shore up some paint protection. Getting a top 3 pick means a potential of supplanting one of the current young core pieces. That logic makes no sense.

    Seems like some Sengun fans are easily triggered.

    Except when Sengun gets benched for that random scrub. Theoretically it doesn't make sense until our stupid coaching staff decided Bruno was a better player.


    it would be like the Rockets picking up Romeo Langford and benching Jalen for him.

    also Reed isn't a threat to Jalen. If he's gonna be successful in the league he's gonna be a a point guard. There is no scenario where Reed maximizes his potential as a 2 guard.

    Says the Jalen stan that goes nuts every time someone says Cam should replace Jalen. It's not about wanting another big, it's the fact they thought Mo was should start over or even replace Sengun, like his skill level was superior when he is a scrub and would very much make the Rockets a worse team. Same thing with Bruno.

    Pretty much the same reason you write encyclopedias defending Jalen's skill level over that of Cam, Amen, and most recently Reed and why you believe He is the superior player and having someone else starting over him would make the Rockets worse.

    Think about what you just typed.


    If I typed literally "Mo Bamba has the potential to replace Sengun and his impact on the team", you'd be unhinged and triggered. All hot and bothered. Fuming. Raging. Your life would turn upside down with the rage that would build up from reading that sentence. You know this.

    So there is a difference between "Cam existing" and having his own path on this team and saying "Cam is better than Jalen and should replace him".

    Show me the times I've been confrontational just form the fact Cam exists rather than someone explicitly saying "Cam is already better than Jalen".


    Reed Sheppard existing, Cam Whitmore existing doesn't make me write diatribes about why someone is wrong about their opinions about those players.

    For people like you, the mere mention of shoring up our big man rotation triggers you.
