    He was doing it before he got hurt, not sure why it would change now.

    Silas knows he is not competent enough to design an offense around Alpi. Easier to just pray for Green or KOJ to become Luka.

    Pfffft.
    Alpi is a big man his game is nowhere near similar to luka.

    We all saw harden and how he played, luka is basically his successor.

    Silas wishes Kpj to become bootleg version of either of those two.

    Sengun is gonna b a great star but he doesn't have to b compare to the likes of every young stars. Luka doesn't even play the same way he does.

    They are both great passers/creators and rebounders and have a natural feel for the game. Alpi obviously plays closer to the basket, while Luka shoots a lot more threes. But in terms of passing and rebounding, I consider Alpi more like Luka than I do KPJ.

    I think the issue is one of balance, we need KPJ he is by far our best ball handler and on the ball defender at the wing spot, what we don't need is 3 ball stopping wings on the court at the same time.

    If you take away any of the 3 - KPJ, or Green, or Gordon we are more balanced and we play better.....

    So for me, we need to sit Eric Gordon his trade value is set he doesn't need to play - he needs to go he is in the way of Jalen and KPJ's progress together.

    Getting rid of him - makes the team better.

    The offense will go back to the way it was before with Porter running it.. that is what KPJ, Silas and Stone want.

    why? what does he care? it doesnt have to be for the tank..its just the way things are... nobody in nba really cares about the outcomes...perhaps just when they fix games and tip their bookies oversees or wherever...
    only when nba team will be paid according to regular season record will be an incentive for owners 'to win' otherwise its just a good PR to say you wanna win...

    It had already changed, KPJ was defering to ALPI the last 5-7 games before he got hurt.

    It will much more awkward though, now that we've seen how it goes the other way.

    why would they want this when sengun is putting up historic numbers? is this like a control thing? since the Rockets "saved KPJ's life" does stone want him indebted to the team or something? that was bleak, but im just trying to figure out why they are fighting against senguns superstar-ism

    With KPJ/JG/Sengun, we need dogs at the forward spots. Stop the 3 guard nonsense. We have more than enough playmaking out there with these 3.
