Still played over 30 a game with HOF on his team. Pretty sure KD already had scoring titles We still traded for him to be our franchise player. I’m just saying yall need to calm down a little after being the 2nd seed. Get this kid an actual superstar and see how he responds next year. He ain’t gonna be Kobe but a damn good 2nd option with option 1 potential most nights I think we will regret trading him and should be taking the swing for a superstar to add to the core
Are you writing in haiku? Anyway, as Clyde Drexler the commentator would say ten times per broadcast, "I agree."
Ive seen Jaden Ivey mentioned. Not opposed to it. I would also throw Dejounte Murray out there also. Makes about the same per year as Jalen but longer deal. Coming off an achilles but still in his 20s. His value is down but when health hes a really good defender and has decent offense. Pretty good passer also. May also be able to get some assets from New Orleans. He'd fit really well and then you could move Fred for shooting. Fred plus other stuff for KD.
Yeah it's time for the Rockets to use him in a trade package for a better player or see what they can get in return. The Rockets need a clear and consistent #1 go to player that can get his shot anytime and anywhere he wants. Jalen Green isn't that guy unfortunately.
I don't think trading him away is absolutely necessary. What value would you get in return anyway? I agree they need a clear number 1 and Jalen doesn't seem to be that guy. Sengun may also not be that guy. Perhaps Amen can be that guy next year or someone else. I would be fine with a replacement level SG if someone else can step up next season. They are still a young team.
Desmond Bane fits this team well. Wouldn't mind trading for him, costs a little more than Jalen and would be an immediate improvement offensively and defensively. And the Grizz might be looking to shake things up. With him on this team we probably would've easily beaten this Warriors team. Rockets Out: Jalen Green - Tari Eason - Jock Landale - Phoenix 2025 pick - Phoenix 2026 Pick Swap Top 4 Protected Rockets In: Desmond Bane - Zach Edey
that's a lot for desmond bane and an archaic C Jalen Green-Tari, Cam Whitmore and 2026 protected pick. No way am I giving up that 2025 Suns pick. Memphis is in no position to get that package.
Maybe both. Jalen, Cam or Reed definitely aint gonna do it. Why would they want our trash for one of the best players in the league?
I've made up my mind. Let's ride with what we have another year and see what happens at the trade deadline. The worst thing we could do imo is gut the team for a rental. Let's not bail out a franchise that made that mistake by making the same mistake.
Just don't do it for Harden. I find it hard to see him squander almost every big playoff game he's in. Series vs Nuggets his shot goes down every game. 22, 17, 14, 11 and then 7 so far today in a blow out. Does his body just wear down that quickly?
