But if they put one of those guys in, I think Rockets would need to put Amen in to match.


Disagree on that.

I have Amen as clearly the most valuable. Sengun and Jalen as relative equivalents, and Chet as the least valuable.


The Amen hype is extreme right now and it’s mostly deserved. Dude is a beast defensively, a freak athlete and a high iq guy. But he hasn’t proven that he can shoot and if that doesn’t improve in the next two years the hype around him is going to be very different.

Chet and Jalen are comparable assets in my opinion. In fact, Chet might be my favorite. His combination of skill and size is crazy valuable.


There should be a rule that every time someone mentions Jalen in a post, they have to give first and last name.... maybe DOB if any more Jalens join the league.

And you might argue, "well you should be able to use context clues to figure out which Jalen", and ok but some posters are batsht insane so it mucks things up. Who here had Kendrick Perkins on the short list to be the Nuggets coach, you know what I mean?
