I don’t care if we lose Harden,Tucker, Westbrook, Covington, and Gordon as long as we sign the “real” best player in the NBA....Christian Wood.
He must be luxury tax savings himself reincarnated in a 7 foot athletic African American mans body.Tilman got his man!
Imagine trading off RoCo, then actually convince Wood to sign here, then take that to Harden and say "stay now?" Like it's some sort of upgrade.
I told you all to be patient. I told you I thought that Wood was part of that deal. It sure looks like there may be some legs to this.
I don’t know who has cap space. And indeed 12 games as a starter is incredibly small. But in those 12 games Wood put up 22/9 shooting 56% overall and 40% from three. seems like he’s going to get more than the MLE.
But isn't he exactly the kind of player you want in a rebuild around a young stud and picks that Harden and Russ bring in?
Uh, it is. Do you guys even know what Christian Wood’s about? He’s a better scorer than Westbrook. Hell he is at least as good as scoring as Chris Paul was here, as well as good on defense.
Christian Wood is heads and shoulders a better fit here than Robert Covington and RoCo was my favorite player on the team last year. We need a PNR partner for Harden (Capela was missed) and a shooter for Russ (he's an above average three point shooter). HE FITS BOTH. We need actual size. 6-10 , 7-3 wingspan. Skill ball is over and Covington was the perfect small ball center we could have possibly had. Covington is one of the best role players in the NBA. Christian Wood is going to be borderline all star here. This is the best third player Harden has ever had in Houston if this happens.
