    What does that have to do with Jabari? They probably said give me Jalen and Jabari and the Rockets said no.

    because they wanted Jalen so bad there were reports of them trying to reroute him before he even got to PHX?

    Jalen is like...80% contract filler 20% reclamation project right now. Once his contract with Phoenix ends, he'll end up being what he should've always been. Crappier Jamal Crawford. That 20% is what got us Durant though. If Phoenix didn't see at least even a small chance of him turning into something, they straight up wouldn't have done the move.

    Phoenix would've been a much MUCH better basketball team with FVV + Book + Jabari + Williams over Book + Jalen + Brooks + Williams.
