Nice post. I do not really understand people who wants to trade the stars with superstar potential. Those 3 players are shining. Believe me some of other teams waiting for a chance to trade.
Cant fit a square peg in a round whole. Both will be stars in their own right.. unfortunately most of the team is suited for a run and gun type of offense, their young and full of athletisim. It will be easier to trade Sengun, get back another good player and go from their. Sengun will be best fitted on a jump shooting team like the warriors or even Charlotte. To much horse power on the rockets. Sengun on the rockets is like buying a Ferrari but taking it out during rush hour traffic
Amen, Tari, Whitmore our glue guys next season.
No sengun and green fine offensively but def side problem both players are undersize the improve player on def side but if you have 2 players that mismach sengun need play as pf and get center that good protection
If Sengun can start hitting the corner 3, it will open up driving lanes for Jalen. Ime will figure out a way to make it all work. Jabari needs to work on being a better weak side defender so Alpi is not at the mercy of guards when he gets switched on them. Maybe Tari might be a better choice when weak side defense is needed.
JG just become stronger, his rookie and sophomore year he's doing his move and he is literally bouncing of physical defender and he just lost it, kinda took away his confidence. its more on he adjusted to NBA physicality. he's keeping his dribble, attacking close outs, and he's not allowing defender to bully him by using his speed. I think veterans like Brooks, Jeff and FVV unlock his Superstar mentality.
In a league where everyone is trying to create big three, the narrative is now it can’t work with two. Really!!!
Vator! Thanks guys
I have faith in Ime that he will make both Sengun and Jalen work.
TRADE AWAY SEGUN NOW
I hope Rockets fans dont downgrade alpi and makes team give up on him. That would be huge remorse. The thing with alpi is he is really a sharp and hardworking guy and loves to be coached. He can adapt himself to any game style. The moment he shoots %37.5 from 3 and %75 from the line, he will be monster. We have a 30-10-10 guy in our pocket.
You need to trade Sengun. When he was in the line up they weren't going on a win streak. Now that his injured … it's more fast-paced with green!
Hahahahaha big starrrrr j greeennnn :)) DONKIC 47pts//jgreen 5 3sg 0 3s %0 haushaudhauabsuaga
I feel like Vator helps bring a balance to your show. You’re more feisty, cynical, with a sense of pessimism with your takes. While Vator is the total opposite. That combo works when producing great content imo. Just my 2 cents. Great show…go Rockets!🚀
look last 3 games, where is Jalen? He plays good against low level teams. But where is he at dallas or milwakee games? He is unstable and selfish. If he can, he can use every balls without giving the ball to his team mates. Check end of the seasons of 4 years, he plays well but he is missing always at the beginning and mid of the seasons. He is unstable. Therefore he must be traded and get best possible players, who can play with Alperen. So team of next season must be built around Alperen. Game of jalen is now temporary.
Some Rockets fans are stone dumb. Alpi can find better teams but Rockets can not find another Alpi
Party over kid. Them 3 point shots not falling anymore. 0/5, 2/11, 3/8
Jalen and Sengun are flawed. Sengun is probably six feet nine inches at best with no athleticism. Why is that important? It is important because the teams in our division have gotten longer or more athletic at center. Sengun is only successful because Olajuwon has taught him post moves that negate length and athleticism. His package he came here with would not be adequate to sustain his position in lieu of Hakeem's tutelage. He is slow, cannot jump and has no jump shot facing the basket. He has pieces of a post player but is incomplete. Green is just an AAU ball hog. He is ball dominant and has a low basketball IQ. He is not a leader and seems to me to be a big kid. Whereas, Amen, Tari, Jabari and Cam have grown men games. They are mature on the court beyond their mere years. Green is still trying to grow up. I would package both of them to get the number one draft pick in this years draft. Since they are both up for extensions I would save that money for the next guys up.
