    Absolute steal! Can’t believe we pulled this off. Stone deserves a statue

    We could include the Landale contract to get up to $11 million, or even Holiday too and get a $15-16 million player

    I choose to look at the games he's played over the last 2 years to be a more predictive outcome.

    The Knicks traded 5 firsts for Mikal Bridges. The Suns traded 4 unprotected firsts for Durant. Houston got Durant for 5 seconds, one first, and two role players. Masterclass.

    I don’t know why but the reality is he’s actually very popular with younger fans. Not saying he’s going to actually win the fan vote for all star weekend, but I do think him being on the west coast and being on a new team will certainly help him get more exposure.

    But yes coaching my kids bball teams I’m just telling you the truth, kids who are into the nba in that pre teen to teen age think Jalen is incredible.

    I don't understand why y'all don't think 22 year old all-star Alperen Sengun and 22 year old league darling Amen Thompson (seriously, listen to any national level person talk about this guy) isn't a core to build around?

    I think Amen has the potential to be a top 10 player, and if you were asking me to bet who is more likely to get a chip besides him or Jalen Green you are absolutely insane to bet on Jalen

    Yep, I expect Amen and especially Bari to have big years next year. Amen wasn't a terrible shooter from the corners last year.

    Rather let Cam and Reed show what they can do until the trade deadline and then we can go get someone if need be.

    It's the same people who liked Steve Francis. It's basketball, not a dunk contest.

    I’m just happy some of Jalen’s shot attempts will now go to Amen, Jabari, Reed, and maybe even Cam next year.

    I think keep the phone lines open this off-season but I do agree

    Let me enjoy my draft, I have been gearing up to that but now they have gone the step backwards.

    I would still find a way to enjoy it and digest this trade another time.

    My plans were made way before this whole saga. Durant is hardly the future with his 37.

    The irony of course, is the one time he needed to jump high, he was an absolute utter failure at that too.

    That's fake. Jalen has never used a 3 syllable word.

    Lets say the Rockets no longer have a player on the court who actively makes his teammates worse.

    Oh, we don't have to pretend anymore THANK GOD.

    That'll be disappointing if he's gone.

    He was never allowed to show what he has or to develop properly.

    Literally every time he got the opportunity he always outperformed Jalen.

    He will be the one this franchise regrets trading years down the track if he's involved.
