    The team is only loyal as long as you perform at high level, its why they shipped the Dream away When he aged and wasnt the same even though he delivered two ships and three Finals trips

    If Dream would have left the Rockets during the early 90s he would have been still a high tier franchise player for whatever new team, loyalty has nothing to do with your All NBA game, and loyalty isn't a one way street

    Borderline superstar and better is a franchise dude for me.

    You are right but I could live with a Top 10 to Top 12 Player right now.

    The franchise doesn't know favorites so you are in the clear there.

    Just wanted you guys to know that I have enjoyed watching Alperen drop his Turkish Tbag on y’all’s pronounced foreheads.

    Absolute bliss.

    A few select posters have gone radio silent. Glorious! :p

    All nba championship team has a superstar(who can close out games) and two stars. I believe Jalen is going to be a superstar he can do things other players daydream about. You can see the talent each night he plays. When you can close out games and cannot be stopped from scoring you are a superstar. There’s about 7 players who are superstars right now. While these players get older and retire we hope Jalen, Sengun or Jabari will be our stars and superstar. If Jalen start shooting like he can, he will definitely be a star in this league.You gotta have big balls to win big games. Celtics lost last year because they did not have a superstar or a closer, but Curry closed out the game for Golden State. You must have a killer instinct to be a superstar and I think he has it…I hope.

    I think Sengun might can close out game if Silas stop benching him at the end of winnable games. I think he has the confidence and intelligence at the end of games to win for us. He has the opportunity to be a all star this year, he is able to average 20 points and 10 rebounds a night. He needs to work on his outside shooting and especially his 3 point game. He is a great post up player and has elite passing skills.

    Indeed, its why I respect both sides of it if a player chooses to stay long haul or those who choose to go for better option as a free agent or if the front office is incompetent to seek a trade because there is no loyalty in sports

    Its a use you until you can't perform at high level game/job, with few exceptions far n wide like a Dirk/Stockton/Duncan and even Kobe who wanted out but end up sticking it out once they got him P Gasol

    ah no takers so far...i guess this is why doubters dont think much of alperen, because they fail to even realize his greatest skill...the very basics of alpi....ie an indicator of him being a superb player that he has shown us in turkish league as well as as a rookie already!

    hidden in the plain sight...right there for taking...you just need be relaxed enough from media hypes and dumbalytics mumbos jumbos...vurps and blurps.... and stamina problems and fouling too much and not athletic enough not tall enough propaganda...

    see how the propaganda obfuscated your minds?

    a single stat that is a greatest indicator of alpis skill... what is it?

    and this stat is precise and hardly misleading EVER


    something alpi was already better at as a rookie than jokic in his MVP seasons...

    what it could be?
    why its such a mystery?
    perhaps you're dazzled
    with silas tomsfoolery

    or its 3 pt shooting mania
    and steph going mental
    that made you forget
    about this fundamental?

    Some people deny facts just because a 16th pick overperforms everyone in the team.

    that's the only way to stop his rise by not giving him the minutes he deserves...yeah some want to see him fail as well.
