Every time I watch this game Bill Walton is totally insufferable as a blabbermouth announcer for the entire game ...and Mario hits that shot
If Jalen was hitting his 3 pointers we would be well over .500. It really is that simple. Every other player in the top ten on this team is playing as expected or even better than expected. Tari and brooks injuries hurt badly and it shows how important Tari is to the second unit. If the Rockets don’t do anything to address SG and backup center we will not make the play-in.
Jalen was speaking pretty clearly this interview! That's a plus...I hope Jalen plays better in this home back-to-back so I can point to positive things aside from his articulation
Best we could hope for would be a late first rounder but I think it would more than likely be a couple of 2nd rounds picks.
And Ainge throws up that shot at the end that, had it gone end, might have been the most painful sports experience in my life.
Almost nothing I'd say. He either makes it with us, or becomes a role player either with us or with someone who takes a chance on him in FA. People aren't looking to pick up a guy who's being traded still in his rookie contract, if he had value why would we trade him? It's on Green to either put it together or have to claw his way to a career as a roleplayer/journeyman if he doesn't. Nobody's going to give you magic beans for the person you all want to crucify lol.
I think you would likely get a first round pick with some lottery protections keeping out of top 6. I’m definitely ready to move on, but I still think there is a lot of value there. it might just be perceived value, but I think somebody would bite the bullet.
I still maintain that Green combined with draft capital would be a compelling package. The issue, however, is our Nets’ pick is turning out to be so good that I wouldn’t want to part with it for anything else than a borderline star.
The only recent comparison I can think of is what the 76ers got for Markelle Fultz when they traded him to Orlando, which was a 1st round pick (top 20 protected), a 2nd round pick, and Jonathan Simmons. That's pretty close to what you'd get for Jalen at this point IMO. https://www.nba.com/magic/news/magic-acquire-markelle-fultz-trade-76ers-20190207
