Hmm. Maybe. What is the worst player you would make that kind of trade for? Because I wouldn't do it for a Donovan Mitchell level guy. Probably not for Devin Booker or De'Aaron Fox. I think my cutoff would be somewhere around the Anthony Edwards, Jayson Tatum level before I'd even start considering it. It's a very small group of players--just seems really unlikely, but sure, not impossible.
Lol everyone in the media is hyping up Sengun saying he’s one of the best young bigs up there with Wemby. Then you come to this forum seeing posters claiming we are a better team without Sengun. Maybe just maybe because we are missing our best player so everyone is stepping up. Sengun did not make his teammates brick open 3s. Jalen has always been a different player after ASB. His post ASB play is why people have not completely given up on him.
Yea, I love how the focus is on Segun. If we’re a better team without Segun you have to include the other injured players. So should we replace Segun, Tari and Cam because we’re playing better without them?
Yes the Rockets are better than the current version of Sengun with a grade 3 ankle sprain. He can barely walk so I doubt he'd not make the Rockets worse playing out there now.
This is such a stupid question. You don't need to devalue Sengun to elevate Green. Sengun is a huge reason why we still have a slim chance of making the play-in. We would've been 10th seed or better if Jalen Green had played like he is now for the whole season. Sengun doesn't clog the paint preventing Green from scoring. The only difference is that Jalen's shots are falling. I hope this isn't a streak and Jalen doesn't backslide, but it's extremely stupid to suggest that Sengun was somehow holding Green back.
So trade the best player on the team after a 3 game sample size without him in the lineup. Credit to Jalen and the squad for picking up the win against the Cavs but let’s not act like the other 2 wins wasn’t against squads fighting for the #1 pick
Also they had recently both hit 30pts in a game They seem from outside looking in...to have damn good chemistry on n off the court (from videos shown) When AS gets back healthy and kick off the rust, the rest of the young bulls will be be glad and all parties involved will benefit from it All this currently is showing the Rockets have other young all-star caliber talent who is putting it together and they don't seem afraid and are playing with Confidence All that is missing is what they already have and will get back in due time (Senhub)
Adam Silver talked about it briefly right after he talked about putting magnets and GPS in the basketballs
There is an idiom, "when Lion is away, all the rats start to see themselves as lion". These messages in the absence of an injured player is immoral. This team is in the play inn race because of Sengun, because of his yearly consistent effort. Some idiot clowns in this forum just start to write, but bad news to them. Rockets will offer max to Sengun for 5 years. He is the best player in this team. Winning against Wizards, Spurs and this Cavs means nothing. This team beat Denver, Sacramento and Milwaukee because of Sengun. Praising your team does not mean undervaluing your best player. I dont care how many points Green scores, l dont see him consistent and trust him, he is inconsistent and can not become focal point in the long run.
The only silver lining from Sengun getting injured is the opportunity for the Rockets to play and figure out this current "switch on everything" defense and faster-paced offense. Ideally, this could make the team ready to play in both this current mode of play, which is more oriented toward the wings, as well as the Sengun-centric mode. If they could somehow be effective in both options depending on matchups, instead of having to choose one over the other, it would really take the Rockets to another level.
Or maybe we just happened to play 2 of the worst teams in the nba. and Cleveland looked like a team that stayed up all night partying because they missed dunks, wide open layups and didn't hustle at all. If we continue to win like this I'll be shocked.
I don't think the Rockets are better w/o Sengun, different, yes! BUT you seriously heard someone say Sengun is as good or better than Wemby?? If so, now that is comical
