Would you trade Sengun/Tate/2023 1st unprotected for Zion?

Dun let it stop you, Sam.

I am too moderate, I'll stop when it is getting too hot for me.

At least they did not pick Sam Bowie.

 

Also Green can blow up also.

 

Sure.

Maybe we can also bring Chandsome Parsons back for $24,000,000 a year for 4 years.

 

I'd bet on it

 

In a world like this yes, on the Rockets the blowing up odds are little less.

Obviously you have to have a real coach and real plays........and not Schroeder taking away shots.

 

Nah we already have enough drama on this team.

 

Nah. Sengun is already better than Zion. So is Tate.

 

What a great strategy, that has worked exactly ONE time in the Rocket's history - where we got Harden.

Since we apparently can't draft a Superstar - let's hope that someone has a disgruntled one lying around.....

SIGH.

I voted no, only because I want Sengun to stay, but in general, I would take that risk, maybe for Wood, or Green....or KPJ - whichever guard they want......Tate is a dime a dozen player a hard working Chuck Hayes type, he is not going to move the needle....

ZION moves the needle, if healthy.....we have redundant pieces in our guards....Green, KPJ, Christopher etc......so if we could do one of them, a FRP, and Tate......instead of Sengun then HELL YES....

Still think it is a hard strategy to try to build from....and generally a failed one.

If Sengun and Tate can average 27 ppg on elite efficiency, then we got two MVP level centerpieces already in Tate and Sengun.

But that's not the case. I hope this was a sarcastic statement. The only reason one would prefer Sengun to Zion is Zion's issues with controlling his weight.

 

If the only thing Zion does is score and add some average rebounding, Green would be the swap for him. Scoring potential for scoring.

 

Yea..... trading sengun, Tate and an unprotected first + he might bail or retire early not worth it.

Basically giving up 3 assets to force wood to play center until zion comes back if he ever does.

 

2 years ago yes, now not so much. I'm afraid Zion might turn out to be another Greg Oden

 

Zion and Green as your core?

May as well draft Banchero too while at it and really put stamp on this era of Rockets basketball.

 

Zion's an all-star material but he's only valuable if he can mature fast enough. He's like a big baby. He's not what you need for a championship team. Having the right set of mind is very important to win it all. A lot of excellent players that's physically may win it all. But they fail because they don't have the proper mind set. The consequence of trading for him is just too much. If he can't even lose the weight to play, how do you expect him to be a centerpiece of your team? Looking at Zion's skill, he's totally reliant on his ability to bulldoze and to be fast enough to reach the ring. Without that, he'll be garbage.

 

I understand people being upset we didn't draft Mobley, but I can't even imagine thinking a Green for Zion trade will benefit the Rockets. I really need yall to understand Zion is done. If you are willing to give up on Green, but think Zion has a bright future in this league I don't know what to say. You just hate Green.

 

Just draft any of the 3 best players in the draft and get a good PG. Rockets got lots of wings and guards that's good enough for playoffs.

 

Yes. This is the most likely scenario.

 

Do you know how many 20 years olds in NBA history can average 25+ ppg on elite efficiency(+ 60% ts)?

Im assuming every single one of them are all time greats.

Now Zion has a huge red flag due to his weight issues hence why I would be hesitant in the hypothetical trade being proposed.

 

100% false. Zion is excellent off the ball. He isn't a 1 on 1 player. His ability to finish off passes and in the paint and play pnr are huge weapons. His efficiency is extremely rare for his age. No idea how anyone who actually followed Zion's career would think he is only effective just giving him the ball and telling him to just go. That's never been him

 

to be fair, nobody knows if Zion is done or not.

nobody thought Curry would be what he is, when his ankles seemingly just never could be healthy and that was for years
