    Sadly, yes.

    They blamed their guy's struggles on James Harden

    Can’t wait to ship Jalen out. We need the cap room for Bari, Tari and Amen…who have actually earned their extensions. Excited to add a new starting SG in the offseason; one that can actually shoot.

    Thank you him

    Bobby is silly

    Nevermind:
    Michael Jordan was 23.6% (3P%) his first 8 seasons (after 3 years of college),
    Kobe was 30.9 (3P%) in his first 6 seasons,
    Iverson was 30.1% (3P%) in his first 12 seasons

    all listed as SG's by many

    Marbury was 30.8% (3P%) in his first 9 seasons. PG facilitator

    John Stockton was 21.8% (3P%) in his first 5 seasons. PG facilitator.

    Jalen Green I believe Drives as much as VanVleet each game (last time I looked 9 drives each per game).
    Facilitator needs to draw two or three defenders so others can get open......Jalen does that.

    You guys do realize it's Christmas and we just won a back-to-back and are in second place in the conference, right?

    Take a day off.

    Fred Vanfleet should go first if anything. I like him but with Amen Thompson in the mix id rather use that money to improve the roster in other areas.

    Amen Thompson, Alperen Sengun, Reed Sheppard, Jalen Green.

    Cam Whitmore I think will leave in Free Agency, made him mad enough.

    Tari Eason injury and Mom issue, might leave

    Jabari Smith Long Term outlook and being Flawed as a Dribbler and Toughness.

    Somehow they currently have the 4th best record in the entire nba. Quite remarkable.

    Still waiting for his below-average shooting to change

    Did this guy really bring up Jordan's 3 point percentage from more than 20 years ago as a way to justify that Jalen shooting is passable?

    Trade him in the summer when his full contract counts.

    Jordan also shot north of 50% from mid-range for much of his career, Jalen can't break 40%. Kobe and AI could also get to the rim at will and shoot free throws by the dozen, which Jalen also can't do.

    Marbury and Stockton were also very good playmakers, something that Jalen isn't.

    Trading Jalen is just a scapegoat for delusional Turkish fans who believe he's holding Sengun back. What they don't tell you is even if Jalen's traded, they'll just shift blame elsewhere when Sengun under performs. Moral of the story is nothing is ever Sengun's fault

    A lot of us also want him traded because he sucks and we want a good player at that position. Not sure what sengun has to do with anything, most people are pretty rational about sengun except for a few crazies (same as jalen).
