The Ringer last year at one stage were floating the idea of keeping Green and trading Sengun…

Those guys somehow get paid to talk basketball.

was that when jalen randomly got hot in late january lol

Reasonable_Height_67

Yep, that Simmons fella and O’Connor went hard at it for a fair bit, even in the offseason when Sengun got the extension.

Flaggitzki | Mavericks

38 | 11 hours ago

o’connor fella left last year. and i am seeing he had sengun top 50 2 years ago. and had him as steal of the draft.

bill simmons has also been rough on jalen green and loves sengun. where the fuck are you pulling this from?

Kaaalesaaalad | Rockets

26 | 10 hours ago

From his ass. If there’s one guy Simmons has been extremely low on from the Rockets, it’s Green. Only guy from the ringer high on him was Chris Vernon.

lot183 | Rockets

16 | 10 hours ago

Nah they actually were floating this in the 24 off-season after Jalen had that really good tear towards the end of the 23-24 season, but it’s worth noting it was never saying Green was better but that building around Sengun boxes you in more and you can get more for him if you were to trade him. I still thought it was dumb at the time but it wasn’t egregious. They didn’t hang on it that long, mostly floated it hypothetically, and after Sengun took a leap last season definitely dropped it completely

So yeah, it was a thing and it was dumb, but they were only on it a brief time and there was a tad more nuance to it than “green good sengun bad”

Kaaalesaaalad | Rockets

1 | 10 hours ago

Yeah and that was Chris Vernon and O’Connor. I’m not defending Simmons here but the only time he touched that was when he asked in his pod “Should Sengun be traded?” and that was it. Dude is pretty much a Sengun and Jabari guy.

lot183 | Rockets

0 | 10 hours ago

I swear this was at least like a few minute topic on a Simmons Russillo pod but I’m not going back through them to go verify that. But I do think it was more a hypothetical discussion and never something they pushed hard

Yup agree. Ultimately I disagree with even floating that trade idea.

comahan | Rockets

19 | 11 hours ago

many many non-Houston media outlets had that as a talking point all of last season, up until the playoff series with gsw. jalen being really good at the end of the 24 season when sengun was out led to lots of narratives about needing to choose one or the other, so anytime one would get hot, the other was prime trade material. its really stupid to us who watch all the games since we knew sengun was always the choice, but that definitely wasnt unique to the ringer, that was all over the place

htown34 | Rockets

6 | 10 hours ago

I like Jalen and even with him being gone still wish him nothing but the best, but at no point did I ever buy into the narrative that he was better or even had a higher ceiling than Alpi outside of their rookie season when no one knew any better. Even as rookies Alpi clearly had a more polished and refined game since he had already been playing pro for a few years, and was the MVP in Turkey, not to mention he’s actually younger than Jalen

You can say the same for them though. Especially Rockets which have many pieces. They are dominating without their starting PG FVV, their big signing DFS and their previous 6th man Tari

CryptoNite90 | Lakers

-2 | 7 hours ago

Yeah don’t get me wrong, I’m not underestimating them. I just think we are better than them offensively, but defense is what’s holding us back now. It’s going to take Luka/Lebron/AR/Ayton offensive master classes to beat them 4 times, but if we could just maybe land Herb Jones at the deadline, it changes the whole dynamic.

ThaRealSunGod | Lakers

-3 | 5 hours ago

We traded DFS for good reason and got better.

I think Lakers have more room to trade than rockets if both wish to still be a contender

Lakers got lebron back a game ago.

I’ve said it a bunch but there isn’t a single player whos been out more impactful than lebron.

Only two are Tatum and Hali who aren’t (probably) returning this season.

Cavs couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean from the shore and we controlled the boards as usual in the first half.

Halfway through the 3rd, we decided that the Cavs were done trying and suddenly forgot how to play basketball scoring only 5 points the rest of the quarter while they sent the bench in that had energy and cut a lead that was up to 22 down to single digits.

But we fortunately woke up when the lead got down to 3 with Mitchell finally waking up after being 1-7 at the half with only 2 points, but it wasn’t enough as we locked back in down the stretch.

dankq | Rockets

23 | 11 hours ago

The only thing that waking up was the coaching staff. The decision to run a Reed/Holiday/Tate lineup was very questionable and is the reason the lead got completely erased.

Okogie is coming back down to earth, which is causing issues. It’s why Amen is playing 40 minutes because he’s a swiss army knife that covers all the gaps in any line-ups.

Shout out to Aaron Holliday for some big time shots and a couple defensive plays late in the fourth to keep the charging Cavs at bay. Good shit

It’s the year 2025 and Cavs are shooting 62% at the FT line primarily because of Mobley.

Man the cavs offense is just much much worse than last year. No garland or strus I’m aware but honestly missing the ty jerome safety net might actually be the biggest issue. He was willing to look kinda dumb out there in an effort to score and i feel like a lot of these cavs are terrified of taking shots that aren’t analytically sound to the detriment of the team.

No one is moving off the ball, no one is screening, ppl are missing open shots or passing out of them. Too much iso. It’s ugly stuff. CPJ is the only guy who seems to actually work within the flow of the offense. Mobe’s hands are awful.

Could this be a Mike Brown/Jordi Fernandez situation again? Jordan Ott has the Suns humming on offense and the Cavs have taken a step back

I really do like Mobley, but that his offense side of the ball hasn’t really improved much is a bit worrying. Know missing Garland and Strus is a big blow to getting the big men involved on the offense, but whenever this team deals with size + a big who can score they got no answer. Think come mid January the talk of looking to move on from JA might need to happen and finding a improvement at the 5. Or add 50 pounds to Mobley. One of the two.

Why is Craig Porter Jr on a minute quota no matter how well he plays, and how shit the Cavs look??

He’s built up 3 years of good play and is still getting skipped in the depth chart by an CGI player

I watched the game on ESPN and they couldnt stop licking the ass off Donavan Mitchell and I’m like “Are we watching the same game?” Sure enough I look at the Box Score and he is -18. Lanzo ball was crafty tonight tho. Props to him.

Anyone who watches the Cavs, what’s different this season? Last season they were a revelation, this one not so much. I see several different names on the bench and Garland missing the start of the season.

I just posted this on another comment above, but the Cavs are pretty depleted rn. Tonight they were missing two starters. Missing two BACK UP starters even. Remains to be seen how much of the ugly offense issue is lack of Garland vs lack of Jordan Ott bc Garland has only managed to play like two games before re-injuring his toe.

The great ball movement from last year is all but gone and replaced by iso ball and jacking up threes. When those threes aren’t falling they don’t seem to adjust to feeding the bigs and driving which worked so well for them in the past. Just double down.

Doesn’t help that Mobley seems to have either stalled development-wise or even take a step back. Every time I see him bring the ball up the court, I wince. Seems like KA is trying to force him to be more involved in the offense but he’s got butterfingers and turns the ball over like mad.

But again, this might be because Garland has been out so much that they are just trying to force guys into roles they aren’t comfortable with just to stay afloat.

Oh also they constantly over help on defense and leave a man on the 3-point arc undefended. That’s got to be bad coaching because it was an issue last year as well. It hurts more now tho bc the offense stinks.

Can’t remember the last time a KD and Bron team were duking it out this much in the standings. Same conference, and haven’t played each other.

Rockets gotta chill lmao. Though the 2 seed looks better than 3 or 4

I almost rage quit this game watch in h it . Fuck you cavs, the amount of embarrassing misses in a row was insane . Topped off by the ft misses. I legit got more frustrated then the lakers losses

I want to like the cavs but it’s clear they’d just chokers , they need garland too cos Mitchell can’t play pg, they wilt under any pressure it’s so sad for their talent . Mobley has only taken baby steps n not improved anywhere as much you would hope . Dogshit performance in the first half particularly that stretch where they miss everything. You might want to say it’s 3pt varisnce but they started looking to pass up threes and weren’t shooting confidently. Sadly frauds

Are the Cavs fraudulent?
