    It's one thing to be bad in games
    but
    MAN he has been so bad in 3 out of 4 games

    I was in the wait and see
    I thought he would rise a bit to the moment
    He has not
    It's one thing to be not good but he has been a bit of a negative

    Well, he does still pass my personal "would you trade him for Desmond Bane" test, but unfortunately that's only because Bane was also hot garbage amid Memphis getting swept.

    Yes, I would trade him for Jaden Ivey, if Detroit wants to talk. Change of scenery for both guys. Might have to include a pick (or two) at this point.

    It is simply unacceptable for a shooting guard who is considered a generational talent to score 7, 8, and 9 points in three of four playoff games. There is no valid explanation for this.Of course, he can't score 38 every game but if he's truly a star, there has to be some consistency, like putting up 15–20 points regularly.

    To those falling back on clichés like "he's young" or "he lacks experience," let me remind you that he’s been in the NBA for four years that’s not a short amount of time.
    When you look at Sengun, who was drafted the same year, and see how far he's come especially on the defensive end it's impossible to ignore the serious question marks surrounding Jalen Green’s development.

    In my opinion, there are plenty of reasons to move on from him. Sure, he's a good kid with a positive attitude, but aside from his athleticism, there’s no consistent sign of star potential. And in today’s NBA, especially at his position, athleticism alone just isn’t enough nearly everyone has it.

    I was giving Green the benefit of doubt throughout the season, but as the leading scorer on this team, he cant put up single digits in 3 out of 4 games in a playoff series. He's done this far too many times throughout his career. At this point, 4 years later, it's time to move on or at the very least, turn him into a 6th man.

    If there's no trade to be had, move Tari into the starting line up - 14-0 is enough sample size to see his value in the starting lineup

    I want to get Booker. Trade Jalen Green + Cam Whitmore + few of their picks for Devin Booker. Booker is 28 so that should give us next 5 to 6 year window to compete. He is more consistent and better 2 way player than Jalen.

    Why would the Suns trade their franchise player for 2 scrubs and some draft picks?

    I would too, and I was hoping the Lakers would beat the Wolves so that he would demand a trade. Because he'll have to demand a trade for the Wolves to entertain that or any other trade involving Ant. And to me, it looks like the Wolves might just be heading back to the Western Conference Finals. So I don't think it likely he demand a trade to a team that got booted in the first round.

    Jalen and filler for John Collins and Sexton. Jalen straight up for Trae Young. Jalen and 5 picks for Giannis. I’m not including trades for guys like Coby White, Ant, Derrick White or many others that are beyond consideration by the other teams. Jalen has wrecked his trade value.

    They have no future and it is just matter of time before he demands a trade. We can give them control of most of their picks and they can try to realize potential of two young players while tanking to get get some high lotto picks and rebuild.

    Whatever the future holds for Jalen Green - I hope the Houston fans are kind to him. He has worked really hard and effort isn't the issue.

    I'm not sure it is a "ton", but it is not too far off from 37-year old, expiring KD who is going to force himself to where he wants to go.

    I was wrong last night for saying I wouldn't do Jalen + #9 for him, I obviously would the next day. But I don't think it will take much more than that to get KD

    Guys I would target / I think could be had for green
    I doubt we are getting a superstar for him . Idk what superstar I even want.

    We have a huge question with FVV too

    I'm ok with replacing both our guards , but that could be tricky . Maybe amen takes a spot in which case you think about the pairing with him

    Desmond bane - I'd still do. One of the best shooters , good defender , secondary ball handler. I'm totally discounting this series.

    Also from Memphis , who has actually watched Pippen jr ? I know the elder is hated , but this kid looks like he's gonna stick around. Could be the next FVV.
    Tyler Herro I would do.

    Could we get Camara from Portland?

    What is ATL doing , can we get Daniels ? Who is vit kreji ?

    Davion Mitchell now with Miami and Abaji from Chicago both had great shooting years , do we think that can continue ?

    Speaking of hot shooting years , oh my God Zach lavine . Although his career average before this year was actually alright . Still I don't know how I feel about him , he not a winning player right ?

    My general ideas to replace green and FVV are we need shooting and defense. We also need some playmaking . If you put amen at a guard spot that takes care of some of the playmaking and defense.

    I think our depth at the 3 and 4 is great . Play amen at guard .. I mean most of the time he guards guards .

    Anyways .

    One final name I will throw out there is Benedict mathurin.

    Reed Sheppard could come online in a big way too.

    I'd def be down to package him for an upgrade. However he will prob be better next season (as he has been every season thus far) so we could prob get more for him at the deadline or something, as opposed to right after a bad showing in his first playoff.

    Just depends on what deals are available. I wouldn't trade him just to dump him.

    James Harden in his first finals with HOF player Westbrook and KD

    Game 1- 5pts
    Game 2 - 21pts
    Game 3 - 8pts
    Game 4 - 9pts
    Game 5 - 19pts

    You and everybody here can stfu

    Y’all gonna make the mistake of trading him for a stars golden years when you should be adding next to him to fix this offense

    Listen to this man and see how he responds next year but get him something better than Fred

    How do you watch this playoff series and think PHX does that deal?? Jalen will not be additive to any deal for a star. We WILL have to include our picks plus Cam/Reed if you want to pry KD off the Suns.
