    I would easily trade either one of them if it meant 1. Luka or 2. Anthony Edward’s

    Nobody on the team is untouchable. Obviously the closest would be Amen but the fact that he can't shoot at all is concerning

    Amen is the only close to untouchable and I would include him for the following

    1. Luka
    2. Ant
    3. SGA
    4. Wemby
    5. Jokic
    6. Tatum

    I would consider a Banchero swap but it's close.

    Sengun is the second in the trade value rankings on this team and I'd personally only add Banchero, Mobley, Cade and Chet to the list of guys I'd trade him for at this juncture.

    You wouldn’t trade Sengun for Giannis?

    I think the Rockets would.

    I don't trust him to not fall of a cliff. History says he has 2 years of being elite (until his age 33 season which historically dips maybe 20%, which is still really good) and then the regression is going to be swift after age 34. I don't personally want a 2 year window for what it will take to trade for him (it wouldn't be just a Sengun swap). I'd honestly prefer a smaller package for KD if we want a 2 year window. My #1 preference is a miracle on May 12th because Flagg is exactly what this team needs.

    Sengun is better than Paolo, Mobley, Cade and Chet

    Sengun doesn't play defense & can't shoot 3s or free throws. No NBA team is making him untouchable fool

    Not really. Ime's offense isn't geared to Jalen's skill set. The Rockets offense is too cluttered & Jalen needs space. Jalen would be more suited in Mike Malone offense

    Losing? This was lost long ago. This is the same group that’s still convinced DMo and Dan Langhi were unsung superstars that would dominate if only coach gave them a chance.

    It seems the less guys play, the more unknown their flaws are, so you can project whatever fantasy you want onto them.

    Sengun is the 2nd best defender on the team currently.
    Just because you believe your lies, doesn’t mean they’re correct.
    Idiot

    He’s actually become a pretty good defender.

    Same group who thought Nix, Travelin Queen?, and Josh Christopher could be our future point guards

    Gonna be more like “The Expendables”. No one is untouchable depending on who is available in trade.

    Which player did Rockets fans forsaken in order to prop up DMo? If you're going to say they're all stupid for liking him, you have to also say who they hated and ran out of town that turned out to be a star instead. Jeremy Lin? Omer Asik? Omri Casspi? Cause i'm pretty sure no one at the time was calling DMo more untouchable than Harden.

    Coming soon: What players would you LEAST like to see on the Rockets next year because they didn't get traded?

    Jalen became 6'3 because people are mad at him. That's funny.

    I think the two untouchables are Sengun and Amen. I’d hate to see Bari or Tari go and I’m not willing to write Jalen off over a bad playoff series; he improved so much this season. But the only guys I probably wouldn’t trade are Sengun and Amen. If they develop a mid-range shot they will both be All-NBA some day. They’re only 22; I think they’ll get there. You don’t trade those guys. But we simply have to get serious about surrounding them with shooters. A streaky shooting guard and a point guard who shoots under 40% from the field is not gonna work.
