Rockets would be dumb to let Houston sports media/Blogs influence them into trading Jalen Green

    What are you all going to cry about when Jalen Green is gone?

    The next weakest link. Of course there is a big gap between the current weakest link and the next so any mass complaining about specific players will die down somewhat down for a while. That is unless a specific pattern emerges quickly.

    Well... I appreciate your honesty.
    Mass complaining is the specific pattern.

    What do you expect? It is pretty easy to get a mass of people complaining about the same thing when that thing has proven to be so bad for so long.

    I feel bad that Jalen’s uptick has coincided with some inconsistent play from the team overall. I mean that — he’s actually played really well and in the flow of games, it just hasn’t happened when the team played well. Tonight was a loss on team defense — and while Jalen can probably take some responsibility there, it was hardly just him. Other than a few flash plays from Amen, it was just a horrific night defensively (and the Pacers made us pay).

    Tonight was a very good example of why they should not trade Jalen before the deadline. May as well let the last 32 games play out.

    What I want to see is if he can learn to play smarter on a consistent basis. Despite shooting well, he did some really dumb stuff in the 1st half. Unfortunately, I missed a lot of the 2nd half.

    Jalens problem was mental. He's 21 years old. Now that he's found his rythm, the Rockets need to keep him. He's our best player & franchise. You don't give guys like that up

    Why cuz he scores against all the teams with the worst defense in the league and then basically get shut out against the good defenses? Why we letting his good games which all happen to come against the worst defenses influence how we feel about him. Twolves game shows me why I want to trade him. Thats the best defense in the league and he looked completely lost on both sides of the ball and was completely overmatched

    You guys might as well relax. Jalen is not being traded this year.

    Why be so negative? There's still time for the Rockets to make something happen and improve the team.

    Jalen ' fluke stretch of games' Green needs to stay in fluke mode, he does that he wins on both sides, ups his trade value and his Rockets extension value

    Scrub Green vs. Fluke game Green, may the best side advance
