What return would you be satisfied with if the Rockets trade Wood?

Who said the 1st part of the first sentence?

 

I think any NBA GM who offers up two firsts for Wood should be fired on the spot unless one or both are super late or heavily protected. If you can get a single first for him at the deadline and a competent young rotational player, you take it and are thankful you can get it.

 

I wish we traded him last deadline or in the offseason

So many newbs whined "nooo he's our best player" and how we should build with him and what not, when he's 25, a fundamentally flawed player as a C who can't defend, and our team just started a rebuild with 19 year olds.

We could have gotten quite a bit before this year started, but he's been playing very mediocre, and now this, his value is probably a protected 1st now. Me and @larsv8 saw it coming clear as day since forever

 

It's almost impossible to know what to expect in a trade because we don't know who we are getting back or sending out with Wood. It's more likely that Houston sends out more players than we take back, so who knows. The return could be very different for Tate and Wood, vs Gordon and Wood or Theis and Wood.

 

Put me in that group as well, I think I was the first person to create the hypothetical GS trades, which I was grilled for in late 2020. I'd love to pull up that thread today. Although, I'll admit, it wasn't Wood's flaws that narrated my thinking, it was our inability to compete during his team friendly contract.

 

A late first and salary filler would be fine at this point. This dude is a legit locker room cancer and puts up the emptiest stats ever.

 

Too late.

 

Package him and Porter.

 

Stock is low, you wait much like the sixers are doing with Simmons.

 

Quite a bit is debatable. Going into this season Wood was a career journeyman with a history of attitude problems. He had a good year last year but he also missed a good portion of the season with injuries and doesn't exactly have a frame that would convince many GMs that he could consistently stay on the court for a long season. I think tonight really hurt his stock but it also might not have been as high as some people think.

 

Cwood is literally the definition of talk is cheap...that being said..i say wait till the deadline so that this story cools down, and try and get a first rounder and a young impact player and move on from this diva

 

Didn't see party size bag of Funyuns. Didnt vote.

jkjk

 

Obviously if you can get a return for Wood in a trade u do it. But consider that straight up cutting him is not the end of the world and it may be the best thing for the franchise in the long run. We have to establish a team-first, maximum effort culture. We are at the beginning of a long rebuilding process. Establish the right culture is more valuable than the return we could get on Christian Wood. We honestly cannot afford to wait for maximum value; we need to move him as a direct response to the incident, no matter the return.

I was never as high on KPJ as others are and I honestly don’t care what we do with him as long as it’s with an eye towards establishing a team-first culture and accountability. Cut him if it will help establish the culture we need.

 

The thing that isn't really talked about very much and why Woods contract is really good is that he has this year and next year left on a low contact. The low contract for money saving purposes isn't the reason to jump at Wood but rather the flexibility it provides. An already capped out team can't move 25mil easily to add Wood but has a much better chance moving 13mil. I think is current contract has more value to a contender than the potential of him getting resigned or what is ultimate skillset is worth.So ultimately its not about if his skills itself is worth 2 FRP but rather his skills plus contract.

 

Expiring + pick swap + future protected FRP seems nice.

 

We'll be extremely lucky to get a late first for Wood at this point, more like a 2nd plus salary filler

 

wood too srs. trade him for a casual

 

I don’t even care tbh, just get him outta here

him being off the team is addition by subtraction

 

Nah breh, those dudes were just in love with his empty stats.

Would have been good to trade him before his quitting news made the round.
