    That's profoundly ridiculous. If you had a thread asking if people would trade KPJ for Ball, they're would be no controversy.... because there are no delusional KPJ first or KPJ only fans. Hell they're aren't any delusional Smith only or Smith first fans either.

    This kind of thing ONLY happens with Green only or Sengun only fans.

    Telecast mentioned that the Rockets have had the second toughest schedule to this point.
    Only the Pistons had faced a greater winning percentage (of teams they played)

    Will get one of the easiest schedules from this point to up until the All Star Break

    A lot of interesting thought processes in this thread I appreciate reading them all. To simply answer the question I voted yes, but like the majority of the NBA, I'm enamored with jumbo playmakers.

    What a load of bs. I bet u would b the first one to deflect to trading green instead.

    Prime example
    Folks want to just bench kpj as sixth man u get all defensive about it and list your whole spiel about why green is more deserving of the bench first.

    U will do the exact same sht to anyone starting a thread about trading kpj, u will just type your spiel about how green is the worst defender and why he's more reasonable to b traded b4 kpj

    I know you weren’t on the bbs during the Yao r subsequent Lin years but the silly Sengun fans ate the same type of passionate fan that is tied to the player because they are Taiwanese-American/Asian looking, the pride of China or THE prominent Turkisk athlete.

    You attack posters who aren’t that level of strange or aggressive because they like Jalen Green enough to believe he may make a meteoric jump in the NBA. You infer that these people are stupid to the point that they wouldn’t trade Green for Dončić. No one actually says that but you extrapolate the LaMelo example (unfairly) to assign these intentions to people. So that being said…. Obviously it is the same for you. You would hold KPJ here even if offered Bane and Morant for KPJ and Gordon. I will just ascribe this lunacy to you and Trump it so.

    Go to the hangout and start a poll asking if the BBS generally thinks you bring value and objectivity to conversations? Or if you are reasonable or civil to seal with? If DaDakota is a slobbering, energetic saint bernard then you sir are a rabid pug. You need to re-calibrate the value of your posting to bring more to the BBS.

    That's completely different. If you want to trade KPJ for Ball, that helps the team, if you want to bench KPJ, that hurts the team.

    Supporting a trade that would bring in a legit budding superstar is a good idea, benching basically the only competent ball handler on the team just to say you did is just stupid.

    So even in a poll you picked Lamelo is considered the better player, but somehow you think you are making a point?

    LOL thanks for exposing yourself again.

    As I said Nimrod I would trade KPJ for him too......for me, I don't fall in love with any player, it is all about whether the Rockets get better.

    LOL - so now as you aren't getting any attention with your one liners to nowhere you once again resort to personal attacks.

    I feel sorry for you - you need a hug......must be hard trying to get attention by being an ******* so often - and being ignored....bring it in big guy, bring it in....

    Everyone give this man a hug, he needs some support he is struggling....

    You'd think it would be a simple "Well, obviously" and that would be the end of it, but people wanted to fight about it for some reason.

    We all know u prefer kpj over Green. Been exposed b4 for your lack of patience over Green. It's hard 4 u to stop pining for mobley hence this stupid thread.

    Keeps asking patience for kpj and lo behold wondering if we should get rid of green

    It's not about fallin in love with a player that's wrong it's about hypocrites like u saying one thing to folks and behaving opposite to what u preach.

    Ask for patience and wonder if short term thinking trade is best for the org. Why bother telling people to have patience then?

    Green's not much younger and is not near the playmaker LaMelo is. Could change in the future. But right now the only reason you take Green over LaMelo is if you're traumatized by the TMac/Yao injury years.
