How old is Jeff Green, about 43?
Van Fleet and Adams are both 31, next is 38 year old Jeff Green. The rest of the roster is under 30
Most of their core is pretty damn young. Itâs always: who are going to become stars, if any?
ETA:
It didnât exactly grab what I intended, but if you scroll down and sort the âper gameâ stats from youngest to oldest, itâs pretty striking how young they are.
Right. All their age is at PG and backup C
Indianapolis v Oklahoma City feels more like two cities competing for the 1978 Worldâs Fair than the NBA Finals.

I was in OKC for a conference in April. The Lakers happened to be in town so I took in a game. OKC looked very strong that night.
Such a significant difference from my college basketball watching experience. It was overproduced for my taste. It felt like watching a game inside a pinball machine with all of the lights and sounds going off constantly.
Kevin Durant is a Rocket
Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, #10 pick, 5 2nd rounders go to Phoenix
Not thrilled by what the Rockets are giving up. I figure Durantâs still got 2 to 3 really good years left in him.
Over the course of five calendar years.

They only have up one first and kept Amen, Sengun, Jabari, and FVV. I think itâs a better deal than I expected.

Kind of reminds me of the Scottie Pippen deal, only giving up more. Itâs 10 years too late.
If theyâre lucky thatâs the same time scale for when he quits on them and demands a trade.
Iâm not sure about Durant and the value he has left, but thatâs not giving up much, IMO. The only real downside is what Jalen MIGHT become.

Jalen has become what he is. This is a textbook case of addition by subtraction.

From the Athleticâs trade grades:
Plain and simple: The new, inexperienced Suns front office, with Brian Gregory as the new general manager, got worked in this deal
They gave the Rockets an A+

I will not miss Jalen Green at all.
