    Jalen Green got traded out of Houston and upgraded his team.

    Had Brooks and Green performed in last year's playoffs, they would still be here. BTW, I always liked Jalen Green despite his offensive inefficiencies. Great teammate. Good defender.

    Well, it can go one of two ways. What you said, OR he goes for 20 in the first half. Ime puts him out there midway through the 3rd, but runs 0 sets for him and he has 2 second half shots :rolleyes: Didn't that happen against the Nuggets back in November during the cup game?

    Amen and Ausar probably tired from playing call of duty all night together.

    Jabari slept on the floor in Durants hotel room. Another trash game coming.

    Reed got some Motown booty.

    I really hope Stone tried trading Jabari and tried to keep Jalen. There's a rumor that said the Suns preferred Jabari but I highly doubt that. Only Rocket fans see hope for that guy. No one that's non biased actually watched Jabari play these past 3 seasons and said hmmm I need that guy.

    Your bail will be no cash, trust me. So as long as you don’t assault anyone with a weapon it won’t even cost up any money. Live it up.

    Brooks was just a little below average in the playoffs. Had Jalen played same level, Rockets win in 5/6. Green was THAT bad. Historic discrepancy between reg and postseason.

    Green choked in the playoffs just like he did in the dunk contest. Pressure got the best of him. I still don't like the trade though because I think he will grow out of that, but the Rockets clearly felt differently. If he had performed, I don't think that trade gets made.
