  1. And there's a reason there's not a dime and dozen of Alperen Senguns… Because you can't find special players like that.. Man it's crazy how our fans still don't see and appreciate what Sengun can bring to this team

  2. The rockets are in go mode. Tate said it or someone else maybe. They may change course later in the year but they want to win once the season starts.

  3. Longaniza powers the rocket fuel of Jalen "The Solution" Green. He had a lot of those fuel when he visited Ilocos Sur in offseason.

  4. Y’all sleep on sengun Did y’all watch the fiba cup I’m not disagreeing that I do see sengun as a ginobly type player but I don’t see that happening until jabri reach his peak and become a center

  5. Jabari is not a center. What you guys talking about Alpe being 6th man? Who will you put there — Boban? Sign Jamarion Sharp and put him as 5, then you an slide Alpe at 4.

  6. There is no guarantee of getting pick #1 even if you are worst record so it's nonsense to talk of tanking especially we got lucky getting TRUE #1 picks the past 2 drafts.

  7. Also, The Solution has packed in 10 solid pounds of muscle from 175 to 185 lbs. He's a year older too playing vs some teams with rookies/thinner so he can really shred them this year. Jalen for SOTY!

  8. Here is a thought for you guys: What would it take for you or what kind of deal would you take if Detroit wants to get Jalen Green in exchange of Cade Cunningham? Like how much additional money? Or is it 1R picks? or is it a package of their other player/s? I know it's just a brain teaser but would be interesting to know your takes on the next show.
