Im trying to think someone else out there. I just threw his name out there. I really hope the rockets sell high on Alpi. We desperately need a game changer on the perimeter. The Rockets have the pieces to make it happen, we just have to put together a deal one of these teams can’t refuse. But the problem is Stone has no real connections around the league to get teams to join 3 or 4 team trades to help him out like Morey would do.
Some posters here really undervalue Sengun. I just wonder if his recent struggles (largely caused by his ankle) are leading to the "trade him!" ideas, or just some sort of unreasonable dislike. Obviously, if you can trade him and upgrade, great (if the trade is reasonable, whatever "reasonable" is.)
I don't see anyone on the Rockets as untouchable. I think some on this board see an incredibly talented, but flawed team. I am in this boat. I'm not sure of the best path forward. I think Sengun has increased in trade offers as things are getting difficult and he's basically needed in a lot of trades for great players on large salaries. Conversely, proposals for great players still on rookie contracts likely should include Amen instead unless there is an ulterior motive.
I’m not anxious to trade him. Mostly responding to the one of Amen or Sengun have to go guys. Personally, I would like them to use a draft pick and DFS to get a SG that can shoot and play decent defense. I certainly wouldn’t trade Sengun and more for Giannis who is a bad fit. I’m not trading Amen for anything. If Sengun is going back, I want a starting SG and a really good shot at a top 3 pick in this year’s draft.
I just have my doubts of him longterm and not sure if I want to hang onto that 5yr contract. I also want a top 3-5 pick in this years draft for another guard I like Sengun and don’t think I’d even trade him for Giannis but if you could get a solid replacement like Sabonis(2yrs left) or Prozingis(1yr left) + the Kings / NOP 2026 pick… I think I’d do it. We could probably buy a center with all the money coming off the books in coming years and build around the other guys. Amen will probably have the only big contract
Rockets IN : GOGA Bitadze Anthony Black Jase Richardson Rockets out : DFS Tate Aaaron 1st rd Sun 2017 2 2nd rd picks I figure only trade without involving the young core, should give what rockets need exp in. 1st rd pick for Jase and Black. Rockets get younger.
It would probably cost Eason and DFS. He looks like he could be another Lamelo Ball type player. Would probably also cost 2 first lol.
