Amen is definitely not the best player. We’re just hoping he develops a jumpshot and a better handle, He’s a 3rd option glue guy, it’s crazy how some people on this board really want shooters around this guy with the ball in his hands as if he’s like Giannis or Westbrook, He’s overrated, I’m not a Sengun fan either but atleast he’s an offensive hub and wasn’t great due to not having a PG. If Amen is the main guy he’ll crumble and he’ll be scapegoated and we’ll be the 10th or 11th seed, He doesn’t command a double, and Jabari is nothing more than a inconsistent role player that’s it!
This is true. Other teams' fans are sniffing coke when proposing trades: "Amen + Sengun + Sheppard + Jabari + four first round picks for Giannis", that sort of thing. Rockets' fans are taking barbiturates.
I’ve had in the back of my mind that Stone didn’t make a move this year because he had something else in the works that he did not want to disrupt. Is it possible that Stone had the opportunity to turn their oldest and most disappointing “young core” player into an asset placeholder in KD? I’m actually starting to think more and more that KD is just here to be flipped for later assets, possibly to a pre-determined team. Riley and the Heat could certainly work a long-term plan like that.
