    Are there any players from 3-12 that you would be willing to trade Amen for plus additional assets?

    We know what Amen can do but is there a potential generational player in that range you'd be willing to roll the dice on?

    It would have to be a gigantic haul for me to trade Amen. Probably only 4 players in the league, I would trade straight up, Wemby, Ant, Flagg and Jokic. There are others if they were younger. The teams in the top 3 this year don’t have good enough players to pair with their pick for me to pull the trigger. I realize that I’m out there with my admiration for Amen, but I haven’t seen a kid with his work ethic and bad-ass attitude since Larry Bird. Someone with that athleticism and determination is extremely rare.

    Love Amen too and the last person I want traded from this team.

    But I see a lot of post here about Alpi and Amen and their shooting when both are on the floor.

    Just wanted to see what everyone feels on how much we should get back if the Rockets decide to sell high now.

    Boozer, Peterson or Dybantsa would be a conversation especially with Amen being a year away from being close to a max player.

    There not enough on their own. So who does Washington, Utah, or Memphis have that you want in addition and who are you sending out to match salaries? Sarr is the best thing Washington has to offer, not enough. Memphis has nobody. Utah Jaren Jackson and Ace Bailey plus the no. 2 for KD and Amen, yes, maybe, but would Utah?

    You don't trade Amen.
