    Might as well get this started, I’ve been pretty neutral on Jalen through his Rockets career, but it’s clearly time for us to move on.

    Don't talk about Houston's golden boy like that.

    I really hate to root against the player we drafted

    but this guy is so dumb… he can barely even put a coherent sentence together. he’s easy to defend and cause to make mistakes, especially in the playoffs when things slow down and are more intense.

    to me he’s at best a sixth man… sucks we couldn’t evaluate that before we drafted him.

    but I’ve been saying it since his first season he just constantly does dumb things on the court, and you can’t fix that.

    Like Charles Barkley said you can’t win big with a player that scores 30 one night and 8 one night… you’d be better off with the guy that scored 15 consistently

    we need to move on from him if we even can at this point

    If we don't land a top 4 pick, I'd package him to move up

    Would you do Jalen Green + #9 for KD? I wouldn’t

    I think I would do Jalen Green + Whitmore for KD though

    Don't root against Jalen while he's on the roster. He can't help being what he is.

    When he comes to town playing for a new team, cut loose on him all you want.

    I’ll give whoever Minnesota wants for Ant. Other than Amen and Sengun, take your pick.

    Green, Jabari, Tari, Cam, Reed, 3 suns picks… done. Whatever they want.

    If we don’t want him, why would someone want him?

    Not him but specifically but if we package him alongside some draft picks and some other players we might be able to land a good deal.

    Id rather trade the 9th pick and keep Whitmore. But theyd have to add something else for the salaries to work.

    He was the 6th man on his AAU team, he struggled in the Gleauge, he couldn't shoot well, a lot of us wanted Mobley for a reason - this was a miss with the number 2 pick.

    GSW would love to have green, curry would make any slasher and shooter an MVP type player. He just pull so much attention unto him.

    With his contract and his performance in these playoffs; seriously who would want him? You think Jalen is bad???? Wait til you see the offers that come in for him lol. You’ll get 30+ million dollars worth of garbage for him.

    the best thing to do is wait til next season and trade him when his stock hasn’t plummeted like it is right now.

    I have been against the idea of either kd or booker, after this playoff series, I think I am more than ok with booker or kd
