    Which doesn't make any sense because Jalen had plenty of clutch games this season. 2 Lakers games and Grizzlies game just off the top of my head

    And we might have the Kobe of that draft. Its starting to look easy for him now. Especially last nights game.

    Jalen had to lose in order to win.

    Good read.

    There would be no Kobe again, Kobe was a 30+% chucker but a relentless one at that.

    His driving game was top notch though.

    People should definitely back away from that statement as Shaq and Gasol brought him most of his rings any way.

    Get creative, there are tons of other superstars to compare to.......

    The Rockets are definitely losing games to get better in x years.

    My point is those moves were part of a strategy to tank now, not win now. If the org wanted to win now they would have gotten promising players instead of draft picks in that trade. You cannot possibly think they were trying to win this year. We have so many picks to trade for veterans/impact players.

    Some, not all of them. He was better across the board than KPJ last year but we told him to go home and gave the keys to KPJ to try to develop him.

    Can hear the whispers already.

    “Yeah he can score, but what else can he do?”

    Whispers you would expect around a budding franchise player. Christian Wood will be the first sacrifice, all time greats stop respecting the old hierarchy in season 2.

    Feels so good to have a franchise player in have so early in the rebuild. Gotta give Stone props for this one.

    This is a possible outcome only when you have a front office willing to tank

    Swing and a miss for chapter 3. Literally no one is complaining anymore, we are all happy with Jalen's development. Quit inventing invisible enemies to fight.

    This thread is moot.

    Jalen should have replaced Franz on 1st team but even the most critical media do not think Jalen a loser.

    Far from it.

    *And Sengun should have made 2nd team.

    This class is awesome.

    I’d go Giddey and Green over Franz and Jones on the first team.

    I know how it goes, the summer is long and you will crack.

    We already saw one poster throw a b*tch fit about it.

    There’s no escaping it for an all time great. They will drag him through the hell of questioning his winning DNA.

    Also, while you’re content with where he is, we and Jalen are on to the next one. He is always going to be better than you think it seems.

    Hey if posters can invent fantasies about drinking semen perhaps others can invest invisible enemies. Anything goes!

    Roosh is the best rockets related twitter account imo. His takes are always good.
