    Now that he isn't a Rocket, it feels strange but I am sure he would improve some.

    Just wished it was for a younger player.

    I’m grateful to Green. I generally think he tried to do his best and he didn’t come into the NBA in the best situation. he was generally of decent character, but obviously there were players drafted after him that would have been much preferred.

    I still expect to see him making an All-Star game or three.

    Will be good for him in the long run. He's not a lead star, and never will be.

    He was always gonna be "2nd overall pick" Jalen Green with us. Now he can start to carve out his actual role in the NBA as a supporting player instead of us expecting him to be something he's not capable of.

    unfortunately, you were sacrificed for the win now era.
    Hopefully you go on and have a successful career!

    Best of luck! Feels like he needed a change of scenery.

    I’m ok with JG being gone but I also think he needed/needs a real threat next to him at PG to unlock his full potential which we don’t have currently. He had plenty chances to improve his game offensively and force the team to keep him but failed. Wish him the best, just not against us.

    Crazy to think he's just 19 years old and already traded.

    I thought he was a frustrating player and wildly overrated by a portion of our fanbase. But he improved a lot the last couple of years and that run in March where he was thermonuclear hot two seasons ago was one of the funnest stretches of Rocket basketball in a long time up to that point.

    Best of luck to him.

    Finally, we can see the Rockets play 5 against 5

    Phoenix Sun desperately need his fans/comical chapters [Jalen 35 min,bench Booker/Beal ]

    I dunno, but I will say, I don't regret buying a #4 Dunkstronaught Jersey that season when he had the crazy run at the end of the year. Great jersey, and whether he broke out or not, his dunk style was picture perfect for the branding and it seems fitting.

    Put it in your signature, I will actually root for another team over the Rockets x 1st time in my life.
    I'll just keep my seat here so I can come back and say I told you so.

    I'll take the Suns over the Rockets: *Suns will need 2 months to get use to new Coach Ott *

    PG/SG) Beal, Booker, Jalen Green

    SF) Dillon Brooks, Ryan Dunn. Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale, Cody Martin

    PF) Dillon Brooks or Oso Ighodaro......or rookie Rasheer Fleming

    C) Nick Richards, Oso Ighodaro


    #10 pick) Walter Clayton jr (PG) or Carter Bryant (SF/PF) or Rasheer Fleming (PF) or Derick Queen (C)

    That's the type of team I've been pushing here for years. Team full of Wings that get out and run.
    get dunks, layups, lobs, deflections, rebounds. 3's galore. Like Thunder, Cavs, Pacers.

    If coach Ott stresses defense: Grayson Allen, Ryan Dunn. Royce Oneale, Dillon Brooks, Cody Martin,
    Nick Richards, Oso Ighodaro can provide it.

    They will run Sengun off the court. God Bless and good luck. Jalen Green just asked to stay long term
    and this is how they do him. Jalen will end up getting the last laugh. Suns are still a 3rd best team at
    3P% and Green is going to destroy this league with that much spacing.

    To be honest, you’re a pretty bad poster and most of your gibberish has never made sense. So best of luck to you and enjoy the suns BBS.

    I sincerely hope Jalen Green figures out how to become more consistent and efficient as a shooter and scorer as he ages in the NBA. He worked really hard to improve his defense under Ime Udoka’s tutelage. Unfortunately, he just never quite figured out how to consistently be an efficient offensive player.

    I wish him the best in Phoenix except when he faces the Rockets.

    And people said that there weren't any JOFs on this forum. Goodbye and good riddance.

    To each his own. I'm a Rockets/Texans/Astros fan first. Always have been. I don't switch teams to follow players. Players come and go, bad or good. Houston will always be the team I root for in any sport.
