Christian Wood is a Rocket (UPDATE : Yes -- it's true)

the Ariza comment is dumb but I don’t think he’s wrong to have doubt. Such a small sample size dude. On the freakin Pistons.

 

The fact this kid could have made the same staying put but chose to come to Houston instead is a great sign.

 

We'll get more pieces in the Harden for Simmons trade

 

No thanks. First, if you trade Tucker, you are essentially giving up all hope of patching things up with Harden. Second, Tucker only has one year remaining on his deal, whereas Gordon has four years and $75.5 million on his.

 

Then we should not have traded for Wood. He's 25, and cost too much money for a team thats not contending.

 

As good as Harden was with Capela, and Westbrook with Steven Adams, I'm shocked Dantoni/Morey felt small ball was the way to go with these two. The Rockets were much harder to guard when Capela was here, imo. I love the signing.

 

Clint Capela with a three-point shot is a really good player, and the Rockets would never have traded Capela if he could have stretched the floor.

 

Trez just signed with Lakers, now LAL has 3 big physical players who are automatic around the rim.

Wood is not enough, Rockets still need more size, length and strength in starting 5.

 

What? Every team should want a good 25 year old on a moveable contract. Contending or not, he's an asset.

 

Mo Bamba

 

Good move so far given the circumstance. Now is the chance to take a risk on a guy like wood. If lives up to potential this will be a steal of a contract.

Good enough piece to pair with harden and for future. Need to make more moves tho to shore up depth and get some sorely needed defense

 

Do you know what the market is like right now? Fox just got 150+ deal lol centers are hard to come by. Guards are a dime a dozen.

 

Don’t worry we have skinny 220 pound Wood who will get abused by LA bigs.

 

That’s how we do it! Let them go then pay big to bring them back!

 

For sure, but would need to add picks.

So I'm thinking Russ.

 

Capela was never an AS, he's also one year older.

He will be unlocked if Harden/Westbrook stay.

 

We have no idea if it’s a good move. If you send out Tucker or EG it’s a terrible move. But right on par with Tilman and Stone.

 

So is this a pure s&t using the $12.8 TPE or are we sending out salaries? If it’s the latter I still think that Gordon would be a good get for the Pistons especially now that they traded Kennard, their only 3 point shooter last year.

Rose + Wood for Gordon? I’d like that

 

I was a bit off on my math.

Dont expect any more signings except barely over mins and vet exceptions, barring trades.

 

Ariza might actually be retired too lol. I don't think there is much motivation for him left to play.
