    What superstar have we missed out on because we “failed at drafting”?

    Evan Mobley would probably be pretty handy on this team

    Hind sight is 20-20 so ain’t gonna go there but we could easily move Jalen to a 6th men role and developed either Cam or Reed during that time or even better traded him years ago for any decent SG like anfernee Simon

    I mean, more than half of our fan base would have picked better, so it’s not really hindsight.

    Get a bigger more physical pass first PG with a middy

    Move DB to bench and start Amen at SF

    put Bari back at PF

    Trade Tari and Cam and Holiday for a vet SG who can work with JG - this series reminded me we only have 1 SG on this roster

    Bring back Adams

    Fire Ben Sullivan

    Bring in a offensive coach who will teach motion offense that utilizes Alpi as a passer and JG and Amen as cutters

    So funny because if harden was there instead of failure green, it would have been a 4 game sweep

    None of those guys are going to lead a team to a championship.

    It's about building trade value first.....now you only have Sengün and Amen who have maximum trade value.

    You are not even trading anyone right now and a Giannis trade still wouldn't make the Rockets a sure fire favorite or great contender.

    Winning a championship is like once in a lifetime if you don't have Hakeem, I understood that from the get go....

    Instead of that, winning the WCF would be the best outcome for this decade. And pray that SGA has an injury.

    Yeah can’t argue there. Just sucks we’ve been kind of unfortunate to keep getting picks where there essentially wasn’t a true franchise player available. Maybe we’ll get lucky with the Suns pick.

    if ur lookin for me to defend JG - it aint gonna happen... i hope we trade him this offseason....

    ...and i still dont want harden back - period!

    just because JG sh*t the bed doesnt mean i ever want to go back to the self-absorbed megalomania of Blames Hard-on....

    and i notice ur not even going with the FVV vs Harden argument, but rather contrasting him with our worst performer... apples to apples i guess... ;) lol

    What do you want me to say? Jalen’s trade value has tanked significantly.

    Harden would be tired from staying out late at the strip clubs and taco bell and tired from handing out honeybuns to his boy friends
