    THE HOUSTON ROCKETS SAID ITS NOT TRUE. This is the issue I have with the media these days especially twitter. Any idiot can say anything and you guys will flat out believe it because its what some of you want to believe. SO it doesn't matter that the Rockets said this is a flat out lie people are still like enhh "maybe its true" lol Its fookin ridiculous lol Just like the comment where Ime said "we need different centers who do different things" Half this idiotic board took that as him saying Sengun will be traded. Its really stupid on here sometimes lol The fact that some of you will believe just anything is just hilarious to me. When Harden is not a Rocket next season you'll see what I mean lol

    Theoretically they can. Saying that they absolutely can't is being a r*tard.

    Sengun alone can be our version of Fox and Sabonis, Sengun is good enough as a point guard/guard and the best center in the NBA.

    Fox is a PG and Green is an SG. That's why I'm hoping we get the #2 pick so we're forced to upgrade the PG position. Sabonis hasn't looked great these playoffs. Jokic has looked himself outside of a few games in the first round. With Udoka its going to be pretty ****ing simple: you either play D or you don't play. That goes from Sengun and Jalen all the way down to Soup Nazi.

    Alpy better be in Udoka's shadow if he even dreams of being in Sabonis' position right now. Jalen we'll find out about next year if he's Bradley Beal/Lavine or if he's a better Brown.

    JGreen will be better scorer than Fox, may not get latter's vision ever.
    Comparing Alp to Arvydas Sabonis is a compliment, to Domantas is not. I like Junior Sabonis a lot but he is nowhere near to Sengun talent-wise.

    I agree, Sengun is better than the whole Sabonis family.

    Sengun has the support of @Salvy, Sabonis hasn't.

    That is the difference.

    The difference is Sengun's nearly perfect footwork alongside his silky smooth spin moves....

    Arvydas fought against to whole US in 1986 Olympics. His performance was next to Bill Walton's UCLA years and Hakeem's 90s playing. What a player he was.

    NBA missed his best years alongside Dejan Bodiraga's service and Z.Obradovic's coaching. Pity.

    I remember seeing some youtube video of young Arvydas being an absolute beast, reminded me of Sengun....

    Which is why I said after 82 games that should be confirmed, not counting 6 extra playoff games to decide if a top 20 player is top 20 or 25 or wherever you rank him

    Sabonis and those like him get exposed on defense in the playoffs.

    The Kings are winning not because of Sabonis, he's been a huge negative for the team. They are winning because their role players have stepped way up.

    With respect, I am not sure ANY of those you listed are similar to a Fox/ Sabonis duo.

    I would be all for pursuing many of those kinds of duos

    Do we think Murray/ Jokic combination is the same as a Fox/ Sabonis combination?

    There appears fairly obvious differences. I wonder if you might also see those?

    Thanks, that is a very good answer. I appreciate what you are saying and it is helpful from a development trajectory perspective

    The one thing I will say is he has been flopping and getting under their skin which is what you need to counteract Draymond's antagonization.
