  1. Unfortunately, Sengun shares Jokic and Doncic's fate. No matter how big their performances are, they are outsiders, and will not receive the respect they deserve.

  2. Why do Houston fans eye a player from every opposing team for a trade? Harden, Ant, KJM, AE I wonder whoโ€™s next. Isnโ€™t it time to show some respect and trust in the players? Being a player in Houston is really tough. You canโ€™t seem to win anyone over.

  3. Haliburton has proven pedigree. He has made all nba. He shouldn't drop further for some early season struggles

    Sengun and Williams should be above Maxey and Mobley.
    Paolo being that high is a joke.

  4. alpi needs to improve his 3-point shooting and a better 3-point shooter needs to come to the team. Alperen makes very accurate passes, but the players miss very easy shots. Alpi's assists are decreasing because of others

  5. I saw a proposed trade with the wizards.
    Cam, Tate and Adam's.
    1st round pick for Valenzunas and Brogdon.
    I'll do that !!
    Fixes all our issues.

  6. Think you may have to trade Sengun in order to get a championship team. Unfortunately Jalen trade value is tanking and in order to get back a superstar player you are going to have to add trade picks and Cam plus a Amen or Tari. Trade Sengun with picks and maybe Cam or Reed will land a big fish while keeping Amen and Tari … Sengun i a really good player but he is not generational, he is not Jokic, and like i said before, Sengun may land near a Sabonis, and Sabonis himself has been traded multiple times

  7. this list is bulshit. most of the players before alpi has superstar in their team. They got cp3, alexander, donovan mitchell, embiid to make them better. what alpi has? He definetly deserve top 5

  8. I am not hating on Jalen Green.
    But for those saying he is only 22. Give him time.
    He has been in the league for 4 years.
    How much more time does he need?
    At one point, we need to realize. You are who you are.
    If you struggle at your job for 4 years. Would they continue giving you time to figure it out?
    Heck. Not even his coaches believe in him.
    Every time the game is close at the end when the game matters. He is on the bench.
    They lost confidence in him.
    Once your bosses stop believing in you, it is over.
    The only reason he still starts games if because they know his fragile mind wouldn't be able to take it, and it will destroy the little confidence and trade value he still has.
    Only facts, not hate guys.

  9. ALP needs a solid playoff run to gain recognition also he has to share the spotlight a lot more in the rockets

  10. Please trade Jalen and believe in Cam… send Reed to the G league because he is still playing too tentative. He's gotta understand that this is the time mistakes will be ok because he's a rookie. It hurts the team when he passes up on shots.

    Jalen has almost as many turnovers as assists. He's shooting (without looking) 26-30% from 3 and under 40% overall?? Just bring him off the bench. If he's cooking, he gets minutes. If not, ride the pine.

    Cam is the scorer we need along side Sengun. He cuts and he shoots better than Jalen. Defenses wouldn't be able to collapse and if they did… Boom Shaka Laka!
