    If by "interesting," you mean yawn-inducing, I agree. His ongoing determined effort to shoehorn disses of a former Rocket into every ****ing post is tedious. In contrast, DaDakota's tendency to beat dead horses looks downright nuanced.

    Agree that the contract Jalen got is bad. However, without it, we can't trade for KD. A problem for Phoenix, not us.

    Why is everything you say not factual and full of hate? Why do you continue to minimize and devalue others accomplishments and criticize them harshly with so much disrespect?

    What do you do for a living? Are you amazing at what you do with no flaws? How were you raised? Did people in your life harshly criticized you as a child? Did people tell you that you suck or terrible at what you do? Are you happy with where you are in life? Do you hate because of your own shortcomings?

    These are serious questions because there’s nothing coming from you but hate and complaining every single day and some weird anger towards Jalen Green on a daily basis.

    it’s very odd to me. We get it he doesn’t like Green. But he hates him. A deep rooting hatred for the man for some weird reason. The guy doesn’t play here anymore but yet he brings him up every day.

    That’s one player I thought would be really good coming into the NBA. I always thought Barnes would be an impactful player. Not a dominant scorer or all time great but a versatile guy that can play point forward and smothering defender.

    That being said Stone wanted Cade. Reportedly he tried to trade up but Detroit didn’t budge. I think he took Green because Green was highly touted by many scouts and was projected by most to go at 2. We needed a guard and scorer so I think he thought Green could fill that role as a dynamic 2. I can’t blame him. It’s just disappointing how things played out.

    They received Jalen Green as the centerpiece of the deal. Instead of extracting some value from Green by immediately flipping him, they held him.

    He now has negative win shares, the worst true shooting % on the team, and is owed $36M each of the next two seasons.

    After getting off of one negative asset in Bradley Beal, they repeated the same mistake during the same offseason.

    Stretching him wouldn't be the worst option in a few years.

    that's why he's shooting 40% FG% and 30% 3FG% this season on the Suns?

    you know those numbers are almost as bad as JD Davidson's numbers on the Rockets this season right?

    LOL

    To be fair, those numbers are ELITE, for a bench player.
