    Maluach as a generational defensive talent lmao.... the same guy who was absolutely worthless on that end against U of H - was outworked by guys half his size, and grabbed zero rebounds... in the most important game of his life up to that point.

    Maybe he lives up to his hype, but I just don't see it.

    Jordan Ott has a good template to work from with the Cavs. They know they want to keep Booker happy. Time will tell.

    Phoenix made some strong moves other than the Durant trade that may improve the team, but it’s hard to understand how Green was the right player for them, especially when they already have Booker. Personally, I can’t see them really competing for a championship as long as Ishbia’s in charge. I read an interview with him and he sounds absolutely delusional.

    Jalen was only in the trade for salary matching. The 10th pick in this year's draft was the best asset that any team offered to PHX in any Durant trade proposal. Good thing they blew it on Maluach lol.

    Maluach is an upside swing--he hasn't been playing basketball long. He could be a bust, or he could develop into something special over the long term.

    Good news for us is that I highly doubt he's ready to make a positive impact on winning NBA games for at least two or three years.

    Rasheer Fleming may actually be more ready to contribute for them--but likely only in a 3nD role off the bench.

    Good Bye and Good Riddance.

    All he ever did was talk down to literally everyone who didn't agree with him.

    All of these are theoretical until we play the games

    So... logically:
    If Jalen Green "led" the Rockets to a #2 seed, and the Suns didn't even make the playoffs with an "aging superstar", what does that say about Book?
    Who's the TopDog there now, according to the blogger? Jalen or Book?
