    No thanks I avoided Skanks in my prime - and don't want to start looking now.

    This picture doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know... We know he has that scorers mentality.

    I suspect that the player's NBA GM and HC do not care, but some players do. Opposing GMs might try to leverage bad press or social media into a better deal. The fact that the Rockets are fielding calls for Cam might indicate that "the league" thinks he is a better player than the Rockets do :shrug: ... or Cam's agent is putting in the work :shrug:

    Players that do, are weak minded....

    Cam is getting calls because just like Drazen Petrovich who was stuck behind Drexler, they can see the potential in Cam - Jalen knows that he can't sit out or he will get Wally Pipped.

    Why trade him now when his value would be lowest?

    Alright fine. Whitmore and Jalen for Cam Thomas, no takebacks.

    Cam is a very young high upside player on a low rookie contract, don't give him away.

    Buying a 37 year old Durant who is overpaid 60 million and declining vs a 20 year old high upside player making 3-5 million locked in for two years.

    It's like buying an all time high peak stock about to fall off a cliff vs a very low one with a ton of upside.

    A 20 year old player will almost always get better over seasons.

    Man some folks undervalue our young guys.

    Keep him till he starts being pathetically inefficient in his rightfully earned minutes or a locker room problem and watch all the Camrades turn on him .. well all except 1 .. It's inevitable

    Well there you have it folks. Cam has DaDa's full endorsement... Cam's done, dump him ASAP.

    Suns don’t even want Jalen. They’re gauging greens value around the league so they can trade him again.

    Cam is the one that teams are interested in.

    You dont know what Cam is gonna be yet. Why are you labeling him as both those guys when you dont know?

    Now now let’s be honest here and not post fake news. We all know Green’s issues in the postseason and some inconsistencies in the regular season but he has always been positive and listens to direction. As discussed ad nauseum on this site, he has played solid defense past 2 years.

    Where does the immature or not having his “head right” narrative come from? If it’s just your suspicion or assumption then there’s nothing more than that. There’s no evidence for this. No reports of him clashing with teammates and coaches. No reports of him complaining or being a distraction. No reported attitude issues or not being coachable. He has always played this way since college and likely high school. No he doesn’t have offensive awareness to play within a team concept. No he doesn’t pass the ball. Some players are like this. I don’t like his game but let’s not jump to conclusions and start creating false narratives

    There’s no room for him on this team and considering his lack of growth. Some GM’s likely see some upside with him and he is probably a longer term project better suited for another team including rebuilding ones.

    If we're trading Jalen, then we need to keep Cam. I wouldn't let him go in any KD deal. Cam has star potential, and there's no reason to give that away because he is young and immature.
