    This has to be Jalen's burner account...there's no way someone can be as dumb as OP

    (Wrong forum.)

    I doubt it. He is a supreme physical talent who can do jaw-dropping things on occasion but is also horribly inconsistent and shrunk when the lights shone the brightest. The history of the NBA is littered with many of those types and only a very few battle through it and come out the other side. I expect him to be statistically the same guy with maybe higher raw numbers because of more minutes. I don't expect him to develop into a guy anyone thinks of as an all-star. Even when I was going "WOW!" I never quite saw "it." He's the guard version of Daryl Dawkins with similar positional intelligence--and while you could get away with that if you were a center on a really good team back in the day, it's damn near impossible to do as a guard today.

    I was also 15 at one point in my life, and just like I'd tell my 15 year old self if I could, I will say the same to you. Being dumb and emotional as **** is no way to go through life. Be better.

    Jalen is about to be the greatest garbage time player in league history. I'm sure his team will be down double digits going into fourth quarter and he will go off for some random points to bring his average up, but it definitely won't impact winning. And that has always been his issue

    It would look nice too and everyone's going to be like man he's soo cool.

    This has to be false because the contracts don't work. Jalen just signed an extension he couldn't even be traded. The salary gymnastics would have been Morey level type crazy to make that work.

    If Jalen was as good as Lou Williams we woulda beat the Warriors. The problem is he's more like JR Smith

    I’ve been a Jalen supporter. But extremely happy with the trade because imo it’s a clear upgrade with KD. Wish Green the best. But time to move on. Cue “KD Chapter 1” thread.

    How was it Amen and Alpi’s fault that Jalen struggled to hit open shots? Also the Suns didn’t prefer Jalen over all of our young talent, they had no choice but to take him. They wanted Jabari but it was never happening

    Even if he does, it wasn't going to happen here. Credit to the front office for not holding onto him when it wasn't the right fit.

    Imagine wasting this much mental energy on a poor man's D'Angelo Russell.

    Please go to the Suns messageboard or post these types of threads in the general NBA forum. The GARM is for Houston Rockets players.

    They dont want to pay the man his contract. He had 4 years. He not that player dude.

    He good but not good, look at the nba top 100, he like 97? lol Guards like him dime a dozen.

    Many are comparing it to when James Harden was traded to us at the age of 24.

    Suns fan copium does not constitute "many are comparing it to..." Literally where are they doing this? Post the links. Anybody who legitimately sees that as analogous to this is on crack, straight up. Not even good crack either, the shittest, stamped on, adulterated so bad it ****s your entire brain into oblivion tier crack.

    Robert Horry and a rookie Sam Cassell were better than Green in his 4th year. Better players, better clutch players, better dressers
    Many people believe the earth is flat too
