    Any pick coming back for Green will be based on the matching contract coming back. If it is an expiring, not sure the Rockets get any picks back. If it is Paul George, Philly better be kicking in the No. 3, McCain in a separate deal and another pick maybe.

    I see what you did there! Keep the painted nails going.

    I wouldn’t trade brooks or fvv for Paul George. He’s done. F level joe Rogan podcast.

    I think this is key!

    Green and #10 for #3 (plus future pick) and George


    I could see Green and #10 moving us up with a few teams - 4/5/6/7 - but what else is coming back in those trades (eg Poole from WAS etc)

    I think Green gets you the 2nd pick. If cooper Flagg wasn’t so hyped, he could get you the first.

    just remember we got Shane battier for 8th pick (Rudy gay)

    Given his terrible contract you could maybe get a bad contract and a late first rounder for him

    a 7th round pick.

    Jalen Green is a wild card. He isn’t like Shane Battier who was a fundamentally sound, great defend player, high IQ, and overall steady starting SF in the NBA player.

    Jalen Green is a much improved defender, that can get you buckets, has good handles, but unlike Battier who was a basketball savant, Green is a wildcard more often than not; he could score 50 point generally easy, or struggle to get 10 points on the next game.

    I think teams would offer a pick between 11 and 20 for Green. He is showing he isn’t near the Franchise player many expected out of him when he got drafted.

    lol I’m not. I’m going off value of number 1-3 picks. When did a legit all star get traded for one in the nba? Don’t think ever. Someone ChatGPT that.

    not saying Jalen is an all star, but someone who’s scoring 20 a game etc, with some untouched potential and change of scenery… they may believe.

    ibaka and battier for top 8-10. That’s like trading Dillon for a top 6 pick in today’s world.

    I also feel like nba picks are more missed now. 4 out of top 5 are bench players.

    The risk of not trading Green at the deadline this season, was a whole lot more people were going to see how pathetic he is.

    That's happened now.

    A very small amount of people - if any in actual decision-making positions - care about a guy who can only score 20 points per game with as many touches as he can handle.

    You don't think other teams are looking at his percentages for four straight years now and seeing literally zero improvement?

    The boat has long since sailed that Green's PoTeNtIaL would haul something of significance.

    I feel like his first 2 years were bs under Silas. High school coach, I’m trying to sell high here! Lol

    I dont think he’s as bad as ppl make it seem to be, I feel he will eventually be a good player but that may not be here.

    @Downtown Sniper

    harden had the most amazing regular seasons and when the playoffs came , he made me feel like Jalen right now. Some ppl just don’t know how to turn up when the lights are on….

    I get it, Harden laid eggs in the playoffs when it mattered most.

    Please don't ever put him and Jalen in the same sentence though. That's downright disgusting.

    The two years of non-coaching from Silas would bear a bit more weight if it wasn't for the fact that Sengun continued to improve whilst having a noose around his neck, meanwhile Jalen has the greenest of lights and still couldn't improve.

    He'll be a good player, when he is on the bench and is treated as a bench player not someone who is handed every opportunity at the detriment of better teammates. Unfortunately this team paid him a stupid amount of money when there was absolutely no reason to, and now that won't happen. So he'll continue to be judged as the franchise savior so many clowns on here touted and for some reason a handful still tout to this day.

    I am in doubt that Jalen is the only deal in this draft, there are far more attractive ones.

    Haha, Harden is MJ to Jalen Green's Jordan Clarkson. Not that Harden is MJ.

    Harden's gripe and regret is having not mastered playing off ball ......and he would have been better if he lost 20-25 pounds.

    Green has to gain weight and Harden has to lose more.

    I think Washington fans need a reason to get excited. Jalen would go wild (with low efficiency) and would provide a lot of excitement. Jalen, Cam #10 for #6, #18, and Poole. then trade Sengun, #6, #18, one future Phx pick for Giannis. Trade FVV, other Phoenix pick, for Sabonis. Amen, Poole, Giannis, Jabari, Sabonis. Bench: Reed, Tari, Dillon, Adams. Still have some flexibility to trade for other bench players or even Durant.
