Yes. As soon as Brooks and Green are gone then we open up a lot of minutes for Reed, Cam, Amen and Tari all of whom deserve more. Once that happens, Amen is fantasy gold.
Who will want Brooks contract?! He is a very good defender, but definitely antagonizes ppl too much, especially great ones. He still thinks he is a better scorer than he is.
On a side note, I kind of 50/50 list to the podcast or watch the YT of your content. I got to say each year you really up your game with the production values of your YT content, streaming and doing all the graphics at the same time isn't easy and takes lots of pre planning I am sure. Just wanted to acknowledge your additional work in these areas as the podcast listeners miss out on that aspect of the shows. Cheers!
I can’t believe we are still having this conversation about Jalen Green being traded. You guys just said out of all the young core JG had the most to adjust to and sure it’s taking him a little longer for the adjustments, but he showed the potential and he’s still young. JG is going to ball out and make all the doubters eat their words!!
Anything might be happend. Time is no friendly to Jalen. Because next year is his no.4 year. He should talk about his next agreement. Houston has too many young guy in SG. Jalen not good at defense. So he as an SG in starting-line up. He must scoring in high efficiency per game. If he can not do that, houston will not give the big contract to him. But he and his team hope to get 35-40 million dollar contract obviously. So, you know what I means...
Listening to the jabari chat made me think of the video him training with stevo pre rookie season. He was getting schooled a bit there, but i think Steven will be great for his development on both sides of the ball. Definitely something to watch this season
Ok Josh, you can talk about the Astros all you want but when it comes to the Rockets remember that Tillman Fertitta is Sicilian and owns casinos etc. - - if you know what I mean. 😇 Great conversation with Jackson. I see 48 wins this year. Sengun shoots the three at a reasonable clip and Amen becomes a starter at some point.
Nobody needs to be traded. The starting lineup is perfectly fine. As long as Brooks continues/gets back to shooting good from 3. Amen and Tari don’t need to start. Tari is great off the bench. Amen has no rush still needs to learn.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Brooks and Green are both traded, either as a package deal or separately, to make space for Amen, Cam and Reed. I think this will also help Tari since he can eat up all the back up PF minutes.
Rockets fan here; I expect the team to actually regress quite a bit. They snuck up on teams 1st half of last season. I hope we trade FVV for jimmy butler and let reed cook
@@karimw.9954 I don’t disagree with the notion of trading Jalen green. Jimmy would be a Udoka guy, is from Houston area, and a great vet for Tari and Amen and Cam.
Take it all with a grain of salt. The thing you'll never hear from Jackson is a critical thought that might hurt a players feelings. gotta maintain that access.
Blessed be thy lord and saviour of Houston Basketball, Fred Van Vleet. May he dish the rock with grace, intelligence and a cunning guise; and may he shoot with a pure stroke. Lord please let his STOCKS be plentiful and his defence be lockdown 🙏
@@y2jt585 reed seems like a better shooter right now, but he hasn’t played a NBA game yet. Scoot handles the ball better in my opinion, we’ll see how this comment ages coming seasons 😄
I like the idea of Amen developing into a rookie Ben Simmons prototype with either Fred or Reed playing the role of JJ Redick. That would make Jalen Green the odd man out.
@karimw.9954 they haven't extended either because if they wait they can sign someone and sign them plus if they sign them this year the money would hit until next season anyway
@@themidnightace8295 they haven't extended him because he likely wants what his peers got (Cade, Evan, Scottie, Franz) and the Rockets are unwilling to spend that much on him. If they were fully committed to him then he would've signed already. If he doesn't sign before the season starts then he'll have to prove himself. But the Rockets also have to extend Alperen.
I haven’t watched the video yet but if the rockets trade jalen green I think they will regret it big time that being said as an Orlando magic fan please send him to the O
@goldenRobot712 please can you organise a trade for him on behalf of the Magic then? Green is utter garbage, please take him. If you like dumb highlight players then he is your man.
@@y2jt585 I wish it was my decision dude is a bucket and with a good players coach like Mosley in Orlando surrounded by a top defense like we got it would be scary
@@bobloblaw374 Yes Green almost wasn’t even on the list. I probably should have had Devin Vassell or RJ Barrett but they are older and that March run did enough for Green to crack top 30 I suppose… I think he is much worse Zach LaVine rn and probably will never surpass peak LaVine level. Maybe Scoot shouldn’t be on the list either but I’m not all the way out on him being a fringe All-Star level PG eventually
Jackson why did you let Josh slide with that cheating comment? what ? is he from LA, NY or something? sounds a little bitter. Josh you loss all crediability to objectively discuss my team from that point.
Should the Rockets consider trading Dillon Brooks to open up more minutes for their young players?
Yes. As soon as Brooks and Green are gone then we open up a lot of minutes for Reed, Cam, Amen and Tari all of whom deserve more. Once that happens, Amen is fantasy gold.
yes! what @y2jt585 said
Green stays

lol, Fertitta is not someone I’m keen on crossing
Who do you think Amen will replace?
@@karimw.9954 Most likely Dillion Brooks at the 3
@@karimw.9954 Dillon before mid season.
@@BossNerd moving a culture changer like that mid season is tough.

Houston is loaded w young talent. Will be a fun team to watch.

If Jalen hasn't shown consistency by xmas, definitely trade him.

If you trade Fred for Jimmy then that creates even more questions about roster construction and identity. Trading Jalen Green solves every issue
@@karimw.9954 I don’t disagree with the notion of trading Jalen green. Jimmy would be a Udoka guy, is from Houston area, and a great vet for Tari and Amen and Cam.
@@Addahandletocontinue123 what would you have to give up to get him?
Jimmy for JG and Sengun minimum.

I paid a 1st, which ended up being Reed, plus two 3rds for Scoot. What do you @all think
Reed will be better than Scoot throughout their careers but immediately Scoot is better. Source: bias rockets fan.

@@karimw.9954 so I'm assuming you believe Amen would develop guard level handles then?
Also the Rockets aren't going to sacrifice Green for Fred. Fred came in as a transition vet to stabilize the team once the guys develop.
@@farhan007 what is apparent is that the Rockets aren't prepared to extend Jalen Green
