    Can you imagine Jalen trying to score on Amen? Stress less

    Durant from 10 years ago costs all their first round picks + Amen Thompson.

    Dillon was only signed for 2 more years, and JG is signed for an additional 3 with potential to be a negative value contract as early as next season unless he gets significantly better / efficient. We should be focusing on the development of Tari and Jabari anyways, Dillon did exactly what he came here to do, we signed him as a FA. Hes a solid NBA player, but you can get guys like this in free agency, just like we did, and w KD on the Rockets there is a chance people choose Houston over other teams if all else is equal in the FA market the next couple of years.

    You can't comprehend how you mentioning not playing well warranting playing time, can be related to Jalen Green?

    Wow.

    There's stupid.




    Then there's Stephen A.

    It's crazy we could still do this:

    To Milwaukee
    Tari Eason
    Reed Sheppard
    Fred Van Vleet
    3 #1 picks

    To Houston
    Giannis


    PG Amen Thompson
    SG Cam Whitmore
    SG Kevin Durant
    PF Giannis
    C Alperen Sengun

    Bench
    Jabari Smith
    Steven Adams
    Aaron Holiday

    Holding onto Jabari for Durant missed time...

    Why am I not surprised you're the only idiot who liked the post about Jalen turning a team into a 50 win team hahaha.

    Funny, reason and critical thinking are what lead me to know Jalen Green wouldn't be worthy of the 2nd pick, before he was even drafted.

    Doing homework, is knowing that he will not turn a bad team to a 50 win team (you know, the homework being LOOKING AT WHAT HE'S DONE IN HIS CAREER TO DATE).

    I genuinely mean this in the most sincere way possible, are you a few cans short of a 6 pack? It's the only explanation that makes sense about your posts.

    Maybe try to get guys like Marcus Smart as the Brooks replacement. Hopefully don't cost us too much to get him.

    This trade is such a huge W, even if we end up not winning a title with KD as long as he stays healthy in his years with us, that'll be enough.

    Perfect transition into our youngins entering their prime years (Age 25-32).

    In 2 years we'll also have the 29' Suns and Dallas pick as well to round out the roster with some elite players. Amen should be a superstar by then on his current trajectory and hopefully Sengun is still all-star level with one of Reed/Jabari/Tari/Cam taking another step.

    Literally just moving one guy from the bench to starter while we have two good players in Cam and Sheppard chomping at the bit for playing time. Even without a move the bench is good.
