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

    Yes most definitely 80-90% fluke. This is the same thing he's done past 3 seasons. We've already been here.

    Jalen has shown this is consistently what he is. 5 games of teasing, 15 games of mediocrity. Good after All Star break, with zero carryover. A better coach with better surrounding players has the team winning more which makes Jalen look good. Thats the only difference from past 2 seasons to this season.

    The ONLY confidence making consideration now - is that Jalen just became a father and its forced him to "grow up". Which is a random outside factor. Not even basketball related. Sengun got better. Jabari got better. Tari got better. Headcase Dillon Brooks even got better. No excuses for Jalen sh**ting this year taking this long to "come around" to playing like a top 20 guard instead of top 80

    Eh, you guys said he was the worst player on the team. Plus if his 5 game stint was a fluke then this whole month is because he's been playing well on both sides of the ball. A fluke is a once in a lifetime thing btw. Not sure you guys know the definition

    Common sense question not only to you but to all those who spit the same stuff ...

    Were ANY of y'all a finished product in your area of "expertise" when you were 3 years in? At 22 years of age?

    It's an honest AND fair question.

    Did any of you peak at 22???

    I'm pretty sure you me and everyone here, no the answer to that question. Carry on...

    He’s just turned 22. It’s absurd to pretend you know who he is at this point. There are 2024 draft prospects older than him.

    Once Rocket fans start realizing the patience for the rebuild starts to pay off, it will become more exciting and get better over time.

    Many impatient fans don't fully realize what we have here or are building yet. Enjoy the process over seasons.

    Correct. But most the slander for Jalen Green doesn't come from basketball fans, it's mostly SOF's who really don't have any knowledge of the game. They're trolls. Jalen is 22, trading him a half a season while he's still learning was always dumb af. You gotta let the kid develop. Kudos to Stone for staying patient

    only if the NBA trade deadline moves to mid March, you could probably trade JG for an all-star every year!
    knowing how quickly Clutchfaners change their mind, alot ppl here problly would say no if offered JG-Bridges or JG-Dejonte Murray straight up :D

    Bruh only clowns would do those trades for JG straight up. Overrated role players who would be old AF when Sengun and co grow up, no thanks. If rather let JG walk in FA and sign somebody else like Derrick White.
