    Regardless of who comes in on this hypothetical trade (assuming relatively equal value) Sengun goes.

    I'm not saying it'd be the right or wrong decision. Tough decision make. IMO - Ime would definetly keep Amen over Sengun.

    aside from his unreliability in the clutch, it’s also been 3 years now and he hasn’t made any sort of leap in his game

    Rockets stuck depending on a geriatric KD to shoulder the scoring burden and should already be thinking about who they’ll be able to bring in a year or 2 from now to be the #1 option…you can only rely on KD for so long

    I hope the NBA media doesn’t get wind of this. I want him to hold his value.

    So what made him jump from bottom of top 100 players to top 20 in the ringer list? He did not improve his game, he is bad in clutch, he is fat, he is lazy. Can you help us explain this?

    Are you actually serious?

    Ringer list? That’s the best you got? I don’t base my opinions off what some list says

    I assume you are arguing with the same idiot? If so just put him on ignore like I did.

    Your independent opinion is that Ime is threatened by mafia to throw games, that sits about right with your Sengun evaluation.

    Ime is not a fan of the white boy power squad for sure. But he’s a huge fan of the white lady power squad though ;)

    2x All-Star (undeserved, yadda, yadda, yadda :rolleyes:)
    Averaging 20+ points, 9+ rebounds, 6 assists per game (only Jalen Johnson and Jokic have more)
    Ranks 17th in assists for the entire league (as a center, mind you)
    Ranks 11th in rebounds
    Still has the most blocks in the team
    Right there with Amen/Reed for steals
    Frequently ranked anywhere between amongst the top 5 centers and a top under 25 player (Still sitting at 23 years of age)

    Is he the best player in the league? No. Is he an all-star and has yet to hit his prime with room to grow such as 3s and FTs? Yes. Is he as bad as ya'll making him out to be? Nah, that would be ridiculous. Come on ya'll, don't go full...

    "Reeko's" real name is probably Steve or some ****. He desperately wants to be black soo bad. Pretty hilarious really.

    Its unfortunate Jalen didnt work out.
    Sengun was supposed to be a cog, not a main piece. Hes a second option at best, but ideally a third option.

    How have centers been used through the history of the league? How was Hakeem, the greatest player in the history of the league (as far as I'm concerned) used? Was he sitting at the 3 point line or was he in the paint, somewhere within 10 feet, either scoring or making plays?

    the rare 40-20-60 club lol.

    again, Ime using Sengun as a score-first player has been a gross miss-use of his abilities and i've been shouting about this for 3 years now. see my other thread "this offense is straight offensive" thread. Segun should be used as a connector that will then be able to take advantage of mis-matches with motion offense.

    There, I helped you fix it as it seems rounding is a difficult concept.

    That being said, bolded part right here is spot on. Coaching has been a major failure on offense.

    There is ZERO doubt this is true. Racism is alive and thriving unfortunately, it should all be about basketball but it isn't.
