    Obviously, I'd do this deal in a heartbeat, but I have doubts as to if Giannis, Sengun, and Amen could be on the court together without it being the worst spacing ever.

    As long as the other two guys are good 3-point shooters, Alpi would find them.

    Lol. I really like Sengun and Amen, but I don’t know about all that. That said, trading our best young players for Giannis would be stupid.

    Even if Amen and Sengun never become true superstars, I still hate that trade idea. Another stupid Westbrook trade. No thank you!

    We make Giannis fall in love tonight and demand a trade to Houston. Where is J Gup when you need him?

    I don't think the move for Gianni's makes sense

    If we were dominating due to green and sengun and Sheppard... Maybe that would be a fit

    I feel like it's sengun , tari , and Amen .

    Better to upgrade at Guard IMO

    Are we a contender with FVV ? How can we upgrade green or FVV ?

    Jabari is a weak spot right now , but you see his potential in some lineups .

    Hes been in some of our best groups the last few games .

    Plus , if you are upgrading the 4 spot ... Tari deserves a chance to start . So I think you try to upgrade 1,2,3 first .

    Dillon Brooks played a great game last night .

    I only got to see the highlights .

    Giannis is definitely a great player , and it's worth looking into . But , I'm not sure this is the season to pull the trigger . Youth is on your side with our young guys looking pretty good .

    Maybe go for Jimmy Butler or Brandon Ingram if the price is low enough . Idk if id part with green for those guys right now .

    The guys I would part with green for probably aren't being shipped .

    At this point you don't do it.

    Devin Booker is the best fit for our team. Green, Jabari, phx picks should work if the suns start losing or Durant gets hurt

    Reed
    Booker
    Amen
    Tari
    Sengun

    Gives us defense and shooting

    A nicely disguized SOF. JG is just nearing his peak and proved to be from time-to-time a reliable scorer and defender. There's almost nobody you can trade him for which will effectively worth it. Multiple players? Nah... Rockets got enough players as it is. Amen, Cam, Tari, Bari, Brooks. All have their own strengths that will just improve as time goes on. Brooks might be the only one player that had already reached their peak. If you want to replace JG, you must have at least a Curry/Doncic type of player that has still lots left in their tank. Trae Young might not even be a good trade.

    When does Booker give defense? Freaking whiner..he can't win anything without Durant playing or since Bridges paul Cam and Payton left

    Booker is not that bad defensively. Is he Brooks, Tari or Amen... No but that's why we surround him with those guys. Also Sengun and Reed Sheppard aren't too shabby either.

    We need a superstar offensive engine we can rely on and Brooks is that

    By the time Giannis age's out argument .. half these young players we have ..won't even be on the roster ..cause of salary cap or they aren't improving ..or they become role players..

    It's easy to love homegrown players and such.. but to not trade for a Hof top 15 player in NBA history. Is ridiculous..that ur banking on any of them become him..

    Chances are sengun and green hits which has superstar potential

    Amen has elite potential but not never the guy be the main guy

    Tari has very high potential but he is never gonna be a kawhi or anything close to elite 2 way player

    By the cam or jabari even hits anything near their potential ..they gonna be gone from this team for either not developing fast or you have to overpay them and you just let them walk

    Fvv and brooks aren't staying after another year or so maybe fvv stays but we all agree if we had an elite passing PG team would have been way better

    Reed is ur future PG but he still has to learn to run an offense

    Adams, holiday, Tate , green and landale aren't gonna be here long ..

    Even if Giannis has. 3-4 years left has one of the main guy

    Amen sengun Tari Green and reed are gonna be good enough have Giansis at 60 percent and still be a elite team

    You don't let a guy like 32 avg 12 rpg and 6apg pass If you have pieces

    Rather get him over Durant or Booker

    Cam Jabari Brooks landale Green and picks are absolutely worth it for Giansis.. even if you get him for only 3 years

    Cause cam.jabari Brooks aren't staying .. you can't pay everyone in the NBA..

    You either trade them or come back after year be like damn we didn't get him and lose out on ur young talent for free or cheap

    Okay agreed..I think Booker being labeled as a superstar is super loose.. what has done with out anyone ? What has he done In big big games? I only know him for choking or front running

    Giannis has done nothing in the playoffs except the one time harden got injured and Giannis injured kyrie. Otherwise he’s one of the worst playoff stars ever, his game is not built for the playoffs. Booker is not a superstar but can be a much better fit around other players, giannis can’t.

    hardly a SOF. I don’t see the need for Giannis. Having him here doesn’t definitively put the Rockets over the top against the other top teams out there in my opinion. Nobody is untouchable, not even Sengun. But if you’re going to break up our current pieces, they need to fit and be able to compete with the other top teams out there. The Rockets need consistent perimeter shooting in the worst way

    I don't want him, I don't believe he can lead this team to a ring.

    You would need to change almost everyone on the team for it to work, I would rather find upgrades that fit the direction we are headed.

    Almost every team had an injury that year and Middleton was the one that carried them to the title. His shooting needs mitigating. Devin Booker I would take in a heartbeat. Giannis doesn't fit with Amen and Sengun.

    Last time I checked he destroyed Booker ? In the final? Nah? When is the last time Giansis played with his healthy team?

    Did you not watch the Olympics? He was one of the best perimeter defenders on the whole team. The only problem is getting him to try that hard.

    Noooooo. With the contracts that Sengun and Green took you could actually keep this team together for 5-6 years now.
