How latest Rockets reports are just MORE evidence of CONTROVERSIAL eventuality in Houston
Hey everybody I’m John Grado and that is Lance zerine you can hear us up mornings on ESPN 975 and 925 hit subscribe so you get all our content right here at sports map hou hey Lance this week Yahoo sports reported the Rockets were willing to move Jaylen green in a trade from Mall
Bridges okay are you are you surprised that they’re ready to give up on Jaylen green maybe this soon or is it inevitable that you can’t you’re not going to be able to pay him and alpie yeah I think that’s it John I think it’s inevitable I mean if he were the guy if
I think if e Oka thought this is clearly our are one or two best players on this team and it’s a guy that that plays the kind of basketball that that I think Jason Tatum played in Boston when I was there and and he can you know he’s one
Of these guys that can help get us to the promised land I think that the the Rockets would be fine building around those two guys they were in the same draft class Jaylen was the first pick in that of the two and alpie was the second
One but right now Al shingun is the more consistent player um he is the more valuable player he’s the more efficient player by any metric he’s the best so if you already know that now you have to start asking your question well can the duo can the big two of alprin shenon and
Jaylen green be the best moving forward I’m I’m okay with people saying we don’t know yet but I’m not okay with people saying yes that’s clearly the case that’s just not the case we don’t know that and I’m I’m willing to bet that the Rockets don’t want to pay a second
Contract just to try and find out I think eem Oka looks at other guys say and say I know on him I don’t know on my guy Jaylen green but I know on Mel Bridges I know on you know with the combination of Fred and and cam Whitmore
And am man Thompson I think it’s just a matter of finding the best core four that you can go with and building from there and I’m not sure Jaylen Green’s that guy and he may and listen a lot of Rocket fans are saying you’re giving up too much for
Mall bridg really because they don’t think so they wouldn’t make the trade they said no we ain’t giving up Mcall Bridges we think Mcall Bridges is going to be a star I’m not sure Jaylen green is going to be a star I think Mcall Bridges is going to be would be a
Perfect fit especially for eeme J Jaylen green is a free baller he is a you know he’s a loose wire and I’m not sure that fits eeme all that well where Mcall Bridges I think would fit a lot better now if if jayen turns into a star I mean
That’s the risk you got to take I mean right now would you bet on Jaylen over alpie no no no no and you I don’t know that you could pay both now you’d have to pay Mall Bridges as well you’re you’re paying Fred you’re paying uh you’re you’re paying some money out
There obviously to different guys but I’m not sure that Jaylen is a guy that you can count on for for the future no I think I think even you know the Jaylen green supporter is one of the arguments I’ll make is he’s only 21 he’s still developmental I I just don’t want to
Take a chance on the de developmental player who started off with no college experience limited g-league experience three years under Steven Silas like or two years I guess under Stephen Silas I’m just not sure that I this is he’s got to still learn to play basketball that’s I just I think he’s better
Outside of the structure of what imodoka is going to want he wants the extra passing Jaylen likes the ball in his hands Jaylen wants to attack Jaylen wants to be a scorer and I just I just don’t know that that’s the direction uh dck are headed it I’m not sure what’s
Best for Jaylen is what’s best for the Rockets I’m not sure those two things coincide I agree I Agree

I doubt seriously it has to do with not being able to pay 2
It’s year 1 lol Brooklyn screwed themselves when they blew up that young nucleus several years ago (Jarett Allen, Dinwiddie, etc) Don’t make the same mistake. They are children for god sake. And they’ve already won the same amount of games they won all last season lol
A 27yr old Mikal is not even in the timeline of players like Sengun and Cam Whitmore and Jabari and Tari Eason. Freds contract comes off the books soon. Losing nearly 8 years of control for a marginally better player and high frp draft picks is the definition of short sighted.
Way too early to be giving up on Jalen.
What about Andrew Wiggins
Just because he is eligible dosen't mean the Rockets have to pay him just yet. Jalen is a great player considering how inexperienced and young he is. Let Jalen play out his contract and prove he deserves a large extension. The Rockets are almost there. The Steven Adams addition might completely unlock the Rockets.
I'm annoyed with Jalen's low IQ. I'll be happy if we get rid of him before the deadline somehow.
Jalen is that guy I put this on Ime he’s not doing great developing him and putting confidence in him… mikal is not a star not even a all star.. this would be the worst trade ever,..,. U guys gonna eat ur words.. especially lance ur a idiot n don’t know ball ur a moron
