    Not if Jalen continues to improve his defense. Ball is a better offensive player right now, but also has not been able to stay on the court. We don’t need another starting Pg as that is on reserve for Amen.

    Lol that comment didn't age well.

    I'd trade Green for Lamelo to pair him up with Sengun

    If Charlotte traded LaMelo to us at this point for just Green, I'd be worried they knew something we don't about his knees given what happened to dude's brother

    I love how people propose these Jalen Green trades that the OTHER team would never do.

    Sucks I was hoping the Bobcats could at least be competitive enough to derank the Nets

    Knocking on wood but for a hyper athlete I'm surprised Green hasn't rolled his ankle or gotten a hamstring strain that makes him miss extended time.

    I remember Will Fuller for the Texans another hyper athlete always having hammy issues.

    LaMelo seems to have glass ankles.

    He does but so did Curry, I think when you take risk you do it for talent reasons.

    I would do this so fast your head would spin and toss in all of the Brooklyn picks too.

    Nearly 1 year ago I made this thread.....still would.

    hard pass. i don't think he's a winning player. maybe that will change with time, but for now i dont think he takes his craft seriously enough. he doesn't want to play defense and acts like he's playing pick up ball most of the time. his shot selection abhorrent, plus he stays hurt.
