    Oh absolutely. Harden has never had a big as versatile as Wood. If only we had him the last couple years.....

    The lack of shooting by Nwaba, Brown and Tate is going to be problematic going forward. Nwaba is the most disappointing as he shot 42% last year so I had high expection for him.

    16 & 8 in the first half of his debut game. Wood is a huge piece now and going forward. Awesome pick up.

    Wood is legit. A major upgrade over Capela for sure.

    Wood, Cousins, Wall - that's a solid core.

    Harden would be dumb to leave Silas. Silas will make harden more efficient and even a better offensive weapon. I mean look at all these easy shots he just got

    I know its preseason and we've seen only one game of Wood, but IMO dude will be an Allstar

    Wood was impressive! His offense looked good, but most importantly he contested A LOT of shots down low. So nice to have someone that can do that.

    Harden and Wood only a +6 because of pj tucker being an offensive liability

    Yeah they are Brick and D players instead of 3 and D.

    Maybe Nwada can get out of his shooting slump

    The James Harden Rockets are a much better team without guys like Wall and Westbrook who take the ball out of his hands. He doesn’t have the usual assist but he has a lot of “hockey assists” he’s much smarter and better passer than the other 2.

    Wish the Kings or Pacers were dumb enough to trade Malcom or Buddy for Wall.
