I don't know ball hahah, good one. It seems I know just a tad about what I see on the basketball court, how else did I know before he played a single game for the Rockets he was going to be garbage? Jalen Green a good defender hahaha. You saying Adams was the best defender is hilarious. Do you close your eyes when the games are on? The same Adams who repeatedly is abused? It is hilarious you cling to stats when it's been proven time and time again just how ineffective they are and can constantly be used to paint the narrative you want (it's why I never ever make an argument with stats, because I know ball. I just entertained your stupid game). I just use my eyes when I watch games, you should give it a try some time. If you knew ball, you'd know this. Hahaha, dude you're hilarious. PS: just to hammer it home, if Jalen offered ANYTHING defensively - let alone being an above average defender - the Rockets wouldn't have traded him. Do you know why the Rockets finally admitted they killed their rebuild with Jalen Green and traded him after four years since he was drafted with the second pick? Sit down for this one Mr Knows Ball (apparently), it's because he's garbage on both ends.
Lol, so now you are using the front office as your proof when you can't deny the actual stats? I thought everyone in this sub already knew the front office are a bunch of fools. "I just use my eyes when I watch games, you should give it a try some time." If that's true then why are you consistently defending Reed and Sengun (especially Reed) when you can clearly see he is a defense liability and has atrocious offense as well on the court in this series? Please don't reply again, don't want to waste time with someone who still beliveve in every move of this front office.
Phoenix is going to end up winning this trade, if they haven’t already. We would’ve been better this past year with Jalen and Dillon and with whoever we might have got with the 10th pick. If it didn’t work out, we could’ve traded Jalen this year. Stone is an idiot. Sooner or later Jalen will mature in his shot decisions and at that point, he will become a good player.
Best thing we can do repivot and get young again. It's the only way the Rockets can save face from the Durant trade. I doubt Durant turns back the clock - he will absolutely still put up some buckets that's not the problem. To me the problem is his defense he just doesn't care and is probably not as good at it at this stage of his career.
the odds are not good that he is available in the playoffs. He played monster minutes last year and at least as it stands now, I can’t see Ime managing his minutes.
I don’t know. At least until he plays a full year with a different set of coaches. I don’t think he’ll ever be a star, but at 24 and with his athleticism he could still be good. I think they won the trade with just Dillon and the pick, unless we can flip KD for something worthwhile. Kd is a cancer.
Jalen Green is probably a more winning basketball player and person than Kevin Durant. Worse scorer and shorter. Better at probably everything else. Durant is much better at making a shot from anywhere so long as nothing has upset him and the planets are aligned.
in the playoffs, Jalen shot 20 attempts per game at 38% FG% and 20% 3FG% and that's not the worst of it Booker only shot 15 attempts per game Alpi 15 Amen 14 you really begging Jalen to be back? if anything get Dillon back. Jelen will always be a front-running chucker who doesn't know how to win especially while he's earning near max maybe when he's earning role player 6th man salary we can talk
NBA has been around 80 years. KD is sitting at 5th all-time scoring. Putting aside people's personal feelings, he's literally one of the greatests to play the game. I can comfortably say Jalen is not going to touch that. I wish Green well, but some of these talks lack perspectives.
So we would've been better with J.Green missing most of the season and still FVV missing all of the season? Who would we have shooting consistently at all?
Both Morant and J.Green are net negatives at this point and wouldn't amount to a playoff series win regardless. Stone on the other hand would say Ja only to possibly have more butts in the seats.
Fvv injured or on the bench is alot better than JG starting and takjng 20 shots from hjs teamates shooting sub 40% over all and 20% from the arc
