    hoping we can see him on the bench in street clothes soon. that would mean he's getting closer to coming back.

    I don't get the Turkish fans obsession with Warriors. It might be on the worst places for him. They are declining hard, they have no direction for the future and Kerr hates centers. They passed on Alpi not once but twice in the draft.

    He was on the bench the other night. Looking very sharp as usual.

    I never got sengun fans wanting sengun to be traded, especially when everything here seems to be going so well both in individual and team development. fvv and ime might be the best pg/coach combination for his development. If there will be anything about a trade, it will be initiated by the fo not sengun.

    They see him as a blazing superstar, a future MVP, and want him in a situation where nobody will jeopardize that by ever outshining him. Unrealistic, sure, and unlikely to lead to team success, no matter where he is.

    JJ Redick and many others who know ball disagree with you.

    By "unrealistic," I meant that he won't be seen by the general public ad the superstar MVP type on a team without other great players. Ask Lillard about that. Always a star, never an elite superstar in Portland. Zero MVPs.

    Sengun dropped 27 on Wemby's head, scored 37 in Pelicans, 31 in Mavs, 31 in Lakers, 30 in Warriors, 30 in Pacers, 28 in Sixers game. He always rises to the occassion. No other young player on this roster can outshine him. Some of you think we do but don't have a better talent.

    That's weird because there's really nobody on this team that outshines him now. He pretty much is the offense when he plays

    Lillard and Sengun are two completely different players.

    These guys may be idiots, but making any grand announcements that he cannot be an MVP level player or that him being the star of a team won't lead to team success is, at the very least, premature.

    I think he means that in order to have success, you will need at least 2 all-star caliber players on your team. Most teams have at least two. You’re not winning with one. Even with Sengun playing at an all-star level we are still a lottery team because Jalen was terrible for most of the season. If Jalen was playing like this since the beginning of the season we’re in the playoffs, period.

    If that's what was meant, I would agree.

    Was just fantasizing about Jalen consistently playing like this next season, and Alpi improving further.

    With Tari back healthy, Amen growing further, Steven Adams, Jabari, Cam...wow.
