    "My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."

    They are under no obligations to extend him this offseason. Let him earn his way off the bench for the rest of this season and next season. If he can do that let him test the waters in restricted free agency. We can match any offers if he has earned it or let him walk. I bet he stays on the bench and does not get any type of good offers after next year. He will likely end up playing overseas somewhere.

    Not looking good, he is exposed....while his first and second year were not that great either, at least people had hope.....

    I don't have a good feeling.

    I am sure he is starting to get nervous as well......if he starts encounters with twitter people.

    Click the link to hear more about the story, seems like Frank from Chop Shop also got to see the DMs?



    Its interesting cause Jalen did go off after that Timberwolves game when he was questioning our playstyle. Things are starting to click. I think we should change our playstyle in some games where we play more of a run and gun type of basketball just to see how Jalen will do. We did see that vs the Hornets but they arent exactly the best team in the league lol. Better if we try it vs a team like OKC to see how it will do.

    His life is much harder when others around him can't hit ****.
    He needs space to go 1-on-1, somebody to HIT shots for his assists... anyway, yeah, his performance droped as well.
    But to me, the issue is much bigger when multiple guys in your team bricks open shots, than a guy who is often double teamed.

    Jalen's offense nothing without his 3 pointer, that's why he keeps jacking them up.

    He can't reliably generate offense on drives unless players overplay his 3 point shot. When he bricks everything they just wait for him inside to block his ass.

    The way his 3 pointer is trending, he's essentially useless

    I think most of us pointed out, when he shoots great on his jumpers he looks like a all world scorer, it's kinda an illusion

    Change our entire playstyle just so that our worst player can start making buckets at the cost of team success... yea, this is another reason why Jalen needs to go.

    He said it after the Timberwolves game cause he thought we didnt play to match his playstyle. He wanted us to run and gun in that game so he could find his rhythm not that we played that way and lost with 30. I think u misunderstood.

    I think it would be nice to try it vs teams like Timberwolves, OKC etc to see how it will work.

    *Silas*: No! No! No! Can’t judge him! He’s just 19/20! He was allowed to do whatever he wanted! He needs coaching and structure!
    *Udoka*: No! No! No! Can’t judge him! He’s just 21/22! Ime sucks on offense! We need a real offensive coach! We need to play uptempo! We need Mike D’Antoni! Get out and run!

    LOL @ “toxic trash fan base”. Yeah, an “empty” Toyota Center, a soft media who asks softball questions,…

    “I had to tell them, like, the **** ya’ll getting away with over there, you go to any other team, you’d be out of the ****in’ league. Like, you wouldn’t play. So I’m trying to explain that to them because they think it’s sweet. I’m like “If you ever get traded and go somewhere else, you’re going to be like, ‘this mother****er was right.”



    Look, it’s not gonna work out here. It is what it is. They already attempted to trade him or at least threw him in offers. He will get another shot though. You do see the flashes once every eight games. He did have those five hot games. It just probably won’t be here.

    However, like a 7’er there’s a coach or GM or three who see the potential and will covet him. He may be two years away but he’ll get ‘there’ eventually.

    Issue for both Jalen and Sengun is that teams sag their wing and corner guys to stop the dribble drive since Rockets can’t shoot. This has been an issue with this team for 3 years now.

    Stop being dramatic. He repeatedly talked about that exchange long before Ime's post game interview. And he can tweet ****ever he wants whenever he wants.

    If Jalen doesn't want to involve in ***** like these he should either;

    a) play decent basketball
    b) stop sending random dudes dumbass messages.
