    I’d rather have Jaylen Brown over Giannis right now. Giannis would cost way too much and probably force us to gut the roster. At that point, you lose a lot of the depth and flexibility that makes this team promising.

    As of now, I’d rather run it back with upgrades, improve the shooting and depth, and see what happens in Boston with Brown’s situation. If he ever becomes available, that’s the type of move that makes more sense for us long term.

    Maybe someone mentioned this already but he is up for an extension soon that will pay him $70 million per year….

    Sign me up for flipping KD & Amen for Jaylen. Fixes the chemistry and prevents you from paying over $200M to a wing who can't shoot.

    Everyone says break up Amen & Sengun because neither of them can shoot, but keep Amen. I'm not suggesting that we hold on to Sengun no matter what. But which is easier? Finding a wing who can shoot? Or finding a center who can shoot? The vast majority of centers do not stretch the floor. But a wing who can't shoot is a huge liability.

    If we could flip KD and draft picks for JB we would need to do it ASAP. JB is definitely capable of being the man and he fits our timeline with Amen, Jabari, and Alpi.

    He is not a good 3 pt shooter, so doesn’t fix our main issue. If you make that trade you have to trade Sengun as well and bring back a stretch center.

    The dollar amount is less relevant than the % of the cap since the dollar amount will go up every year.... but Brown will want to be extended for the super max.

    How 20.3 10.2 4.7 1.8 1.3 statline is being "trash" coming from your 16th pick of 2021 while your 3rd pick of 2022 and 2024(supposed to be sharpshooters) and 4th pick of 2023 along with hof scoring forward all below 30% 3 pt.

    The problem is both fo and fans are clueless in Houston. We call it "çöp" by the way. Just like your biased opinion.

    he’s a 2x All-Star and our supposed franchise player so you can toss that “16th pick” talk in the dumpster out back where it belongs

    20 ppg on 46.5 shooting and a pathetic 52% TS while being guarded by the likes of Ayton and Jaxson Hayes is complete garbage

    and we’re not gonna pivot over to Jabari and Reed Sheppard…I know that’s a tactic you SOFs love to do when discussing your boy to take away any accountability, but it’s not gonna work with me

    If you don't like it, feel free to go watch trash tier basketball in Turkey and leave the NBA to the real fans. Straight up.

    I know nothing is gonna work with you. You are just too thick. But I'll try again for the sake of goodwill.

    No one shot good. If alpi is to blame for shooting poorly because he is 2x all star, Durant is 16x all star and he was supposed to be a sharpshooter, yet shot 25% from 3pt line.

    There you go.

    I feel free enough to watch whatever I like. Don't worry about it bro.

    The 'real' fans? Home court is just too silent to call rockets fans 'real'.

    Are you trying to claim the Turkish basketball with 2000 people in the building if they're lucky is better? Seriously, this is a Rockets fan forum, go jerk off over Alpi on Insta, it'll be a better fit for you.

    And we are talking about rockets. Why are you keep trying to tell me what to do? You don't have to agree or read what I write here.

    Sorry if the facts triggered you.

    I'm not triggered at all, you're just unable to come back with any kind of valid argument, because your entire position is "I live in Alpi's lower intestine" so you're throwing out tired cliches. Do better, or just **** off to the crappy Euro ball forums (do they even exist? Do people even care about Turkish basketball? Nope)

    I had valid basketball arguments while you throw insults. Nothing you said, nor your understanding is ever valid.

    I've been around 8 years more than you do in this forum. You don't get to tell me where to post boy.

    Your manners speak volumes. I won't be helpless enough to go below your level. You won't get replies for your hate next time.

    You don't have valid anything, you have homer glasses for Sengun. He's played like ass. How exactly do you think you deserve good manners coming on here ******** on Rockets fans and the crowd in general to prop up your loverboy? You want manners and respect then give them first, dumbass. Once again, paper thin, weak ass, b****made little hoe boy argument. **** off.

    Durant played 1 game, which means Sengun needed to step up…and he didn’t

    instead, he was garbage

    no amount of pivoting, dream shaking, and deflecting is gonna change that SOF

    I know you SOFs hate facts

    Hilarious the dude starting to cry to me about manners after throwing insults first, EVERY SINGLE TIME. Typical SOF, absolutely worthless. They should all be banned tbh, hopefully if he gets traded they all **** off for good.
