    “The real issue to me is, your two best players don’t get along. I don’t know what the relationship is, but it looks like they don’t f**k with each other. You can see whenever Sengun does some sh*t, KD’s making faces, body language ain’t good, and vice versa.

    Whenever your two top stars are not on the same page, you’re gonna see results like this. At a time when you’re supposed to be coming together, I guarantee you that it’s pushing them more apart, games like this.”



    - Yea its all going down hill here with KD, Maybe the rockets should move on from him and see what type of trade they can get sending KD, elsewhere, you don't explode a young team on aging star, he aint going to get you to the
    finals alone anyways so whats the point.

    Need to rebuild this team, I still think Amen and Sengun are good young pieces. They just need to draft a star still
    Amen is close to being one, and Sengun a allstar so....

    KD doesn’t respect Sengun’s game

    he has played with guys like Steph, Kyrie, Harden, and Booker…and he comes here and sees Sengun smoking layup after layup right at the rim, can’t shoot a lick from outside, and having 43/0/53 shooting splits in the clutch (he’s even airballed clutch free throws)

    he doesn’t have any patience with most of the players on our roster which causes him to get easily annoyed…he also doesn’t trust them when the game is tight which is why he’s always trying to do too much and initiate everything even tho that’s not his game…he’d rather force up a shot or dribble around even if it results in a turnover than to put the ball in the hands of the other guys

    Hey man, there’s still a bit of KD juice on your chin. Might want to wipe that off.

    Rockets should trade both to Milwaukee for Giannis & their first

    You know... if we're getting their pick in the deal, I'm onboard

    I still think Amen + Giannis is a spacing disaster though unless you've got a stretch big and Stephen f***ing Curry in the backcourt though. But who knows, maybe Amen magically becomes a 36% three point shooter over the offseason

    Its always someone elses fault. Its Russ. No its Draymond. No its Kyrie. No its Harden. No its Nash. No its Book. No its Bud. No its Beal. No its Sengun. No its Ime.

    We should trade them both, but separately...and, certainly not for Giannis.

    It's not going to matter as long as Ime's the "coach" though.

    I don’t want Giannis, but if it was feasible count me in. Sengun, KD for Giannis and Turner and their first. Maybe the Bucks are that stupid, but I doubt it.

    Turner would need to be in the deal to make the salaries work so you’d have your stretch 5. The Bucks will be the one’s requiring picks and more than one. Unless you’re willing to do all that for a one year all in season, you will be screwed since Giannis is going to require a max extension which would more than likely prevent you from a max deal for Amen. But I will say that Amen, Reed, Jabari, Giannis and Turner have a puncher’s chance at a title, especially if Amen at least develops a mid-range shot.

    For someone that’s tired of all the excuses that us SOFs make, you sure are laying it on thick for Dickerson.

    Maybe something where we get their pick this offseason and they get future picks? Allowing us to still have a timeline that works with Amen & Reed and them to jump start a rebuild as soon as KD retires.

    It might make more sense as a three-team trade where somebody else gets KD though and Milwaukee gets a FRP from that deal.

    Actually I might be on-board for Sengun for Turner and their frp this year and see if you can unload Durant for expirings and a pick from somebody. Actually Sengun for Turner could bring back more than 1 pick. I hope Stone is not so scared of losing his job that he gives up all our draft capital for Giannis.

    Hehe, I’m the one with all the excuses. That’s a good one.
