    I like Jabari but I don’t think he will be much more than he is now- a decent 3&D forward with height. He doesn’t have a killer instinct like Amen and I think his trade value is probably as high as it’s going to be- meaning I think throwing him in with picks for a star level player is realistic and affects the team least in terms of production lost. Tari may not net the assets Jabari does due to his health issues.

    Weird phrasing. Not sure whether you are agreeing with me or calling me slow. I might be labeled an Amen-only fan, but I think most of my sober takes (lol) are reasonable. Nothing I have said has anything to do about timing. Most of my opinions were stated before the season started and only on a few occasions have i deviated from my opinions and I think that is a good trait. I think we have two big problems going forward and they are Ime and FVV. I think one move might solve both and that is getting rid of FVV, not because he is a terrible player, but he is a terrible fit for this team and Ime needs to have his crutch upended. Amen couldn’t crack the starting lineup until there was an injury., nuff said.

    Yes Ime Udoka is incompetent.
    Avery Johnson Mavs #1 Seed against Don Nelson Warriors #8 Seed.

    Very similar #2 Rockets vs #7 Warriors

    Ime Udoka will wear out his welcome by the fan base.

    Alperen Sengun is the 1st Option, Dirk Nowitzki is the 1st Option.

    Difference in Shooting in Alperen and Dirk.

    1 seed Mavs - 67 win team
    8 seed Warriors - 42 win team

    2 seed Rockets - 52 win team
    7 seed Warriors - 49 win team

    Dirk - won MVP

    Sengun - All-Star reserve

    Are u off your meds?

    ain’t no way you’re calling Ime incompetent making posts like these

    because he was a highly drafted rookie that should get at least another year and he’s probably not as coveted as a proven asset as that has a larger sample size like Jabari

    Wtf? Reed’s dribble drive doesn’t come close to Nash’s. And let’s not even talk about passing.

    Dirk? If Sengun was Dirk we would beat the Warriors already

    that would make him a more tradable asset. A young player with potential is attractive to teams that want to rebuild. If the Bucks go this route I can see them asking for Sengun Sheppard and maybe Cam Eason or Smith.

    Yes i agree. Training in the off season and off the court develops tangible skills such as dribbling, explosiveness, deceleration, one on one moves etc.

    Practice is about running and learning the offensive sets and defensive schemes and simulating game play.

    Players gain knowledge and experience in Actual games. How to read or play against defenses, what level of energy is required to win, how fouls are called, how to use your body, learning from bad decisions.

    Bari has improved in a lot of wats. Let’s see what he brings next year!

    Who is available as a 1a player? Anybody outside Giannis? And for him you still need shooters. I see it as an unlikely scenario.

    what is more likely is an upgrade on the pg and/or shooting guard spots. That makes Sengun and amen practically untouchable.

    So you guys love Amen based on potential but not Sengun lol Its so ****ing stupid. I bet its because he had a great game seven and since you simpletons only go by the last thing you saw then thats all you can think about lol

    I just dont get them. I understand wanting to get rid of Jalen, I wanted us to draft him but his flashes have been few and far between. a month here or there, he was inconsistent all season and he had a horrible playoff series save one game. I dont understand though why we would get rid of a 22 year old home grown allstar and im no sengun only fan but he had the best season of anyone on the team and that makes him expendable here somehow. it makes no sense lol this has got to be one of the dumbest "fan" forums around. I belong to several rockets forums and this is the only one that hates sengun and defends jalen green nonstop lol it makes no sense.

    I love Amen but we were winning this year before he even started. I do think he is untouchable but I also think it would be stupid to trade sengun and tari eason for that matter. This all seems like knee jerk from the off season. no one talked like this before that.

    There’s only like 6 jalen defenders and 2 have been banned, they just post a lot so it’s visible. Considering how many people are on here i would not say this site defends jalen at all.
