Christian Wood expected to get "significant trade interest"

I'm kind of with this. I think we cross that road when it comes. We need a strong bench and Sengun reminds me of a cross between jokic and kukoc type who might be able to play the 4. Theis was just slow and couldn't move and couldn't shoot which made it impossible. I think one of our net + lineups actually includes sengun and wood. Put Garuba in the mix of the three and all of a sudden we have a 3 headed monster in the front court that'll make people scared. That's also why I think we need more Garrisons right now and just a capable back up defensive 3 pt specialist for a back up pg. We get that this team is scary. It'll also take some pressure off Green. Porter jr wood sengun and green will only get better. I know we want a bunch of superstars on this team but we need players who can play off ball right now. Let's see how this team does with this lineup mix and where we are at by trade deadline. If we're rolling.. then we're rolling. If we really suck with no hope, then neither kpj and wood are worth keeping and then we are still in the hunt for that generational talent.

 

So youre gonna risk the fact that he'll stay when really good tems will want him when he's already complained about not getting the ball from Porter. As a matter of fact he became happier when Porter was out thats not a good sign. So instead of us getting whatever we get in a trade we will allow him to play ahead of Sengun and Chet just so he can just leave lol A lot of ya'll are sentimental and loyal when it comes to people on this team but this is a business.

 

Point guard: ::dribbles the ball off his foot::
You: Build around that guy!!!!

Wood:: Dominates a game when he’s a center::
You: Trade him for a 2nd round pick!

You’re trying to turn the Rockets into the Sacramento Kings.

 

What point guard did I should say we build around??? Who exactly do you think youre responding to? I swear half the people on this site are senile lol D-rock got his second account so he can back himself up lol

 

Reading is fundamental Joe.

I've also said that Wood is not a franchise player.

But it is senseless to trade a 26 year old 20/10 player so we can try and draft someone you HOPE will be a 20/10 player.

CF is crying to trade Wood before he demands a max contract. Rockets will need to pay SOMEONE when Wall contract is up.

Do you propose paying near max for another Ryan Anderson type instead?

There is no specificity to any of your scenarios because you are dream casting.

And finally, I am Sengun fan. I was a fan before he was even drafted so dont play your Johnny c*m Lately act with me.

 

LOL

I don't need another account to make you look silly, you do that just fine on your own.

 

Your posts are straight up nonsense D-Rock Im at the point where I dont want to go in circles with you anymore so Im gonna just agree to disagree. We need to trade Wood. Thats all im gonna say to you on this subject from now on.

 

You think the guy who made up me wanting to build around Porter made ME look silly? Very frustrating talking to you I have to say. Im done, have your opinion, I think its wrong but clearly nothing I say will make you go "well you have a point there" because youre clearly in love with Wood lol SO I will be wasting no more of my time on you lol

 

LOL

So you brought up Bamba and AG to agree with me instead of attacking me?

So a jibe instead of a jib?

You best proof your post better because even the most casual reader would not interpret it as friendly.

Just admit your hypocrisy and be done with it.

 

What is point of drafting TWO centers when Rockets already have Sengun and Garuba on the roster????

Draft picks with ZERO strategy is useless.

BPA is a great strategy but it has to be in context of team needs AND system fit.

Drafting FIVE bigs would be incompetence.

 

I really hate that it'll take us trading Wood, EG, Theis and maybe House to make up for the assets we'll lose just to get Wall off our roster.

 

Good to see the thread is in the Holiday Spirit celebrating Festivus

 

He is Christian after all.

 

That's not what KPJ is saying. He seems to think him and Wood are building chemistry and from Wood's last outing, I tend to agree with them.

 

No YOU make yourself look silly.

Every other poster who does it to you is a plus.

You love Porter but do not realize what type of players are best to surround KPJ to maximize him.

Wood is actually a great complement to Porter but you lack the wherewithal to understand that.

 

Yes. You want an insult? You come off as unhinged. This **** isn’t that serious. You pick a mindset and beat it into oblivion. You went from one of my favorite posters to one of my least favorite posters. You’re constantly arguing or amplifying voices that agree with you as if it’s gospel. Take a step back.

 

I disagree that it's senseless to trade a 26 year old 20/10 player. We aren't talking about an all star or superstar here. We are talking about an individual that is currently putting up numbers on a losing team. I know it's been exciting to win 2 games in row (I know I've had fun), but if we take a look at the bigger picture, is Wood actually in our future? Wood is likely going to continue putting up numbers no matter where he goes. I think he is a really good complimentary player.

His value currently is at it's highest since he is getting paid peanuts and he has a year left in his contract. Wood at a max contract may not carry that same type of value anymore.

I don't know if Kuminga/Wiseman are the right players (just picking one of the trade proposals thrown out there by a poster), but it's nice to look at the potential of those two lottery picks. The question you have task yourself if you are Stone, if Warriors offered me this package (which I'm assuming they wouldn't) for Christian Wood, is it worth the gamble? Currently, this team is not close to being competitive. Green is inconsistent and has been mostly bad, KPJ is not a PG and I don't know if he ever will be (does the franchise intend to run this experiment another year?), Silas has been a shitty coach, Tate still needs to develop a shot or he is simply a very good role player off the bench, Sengun looks like he has a ton of potential to be an all star, will he actually become an all star.

We simply have way too many question marks in our future that keeping a player of Wood's caliber seems like a luxury if we actually have a chance to cash in at the point that he is at his highest value. This post is made under the assumption that Stone will do his due diligence and see if there is a talent out there plus picks that it may be in the best interest of the franchise to move on from Wood.

I don't disagree with you that the Rockets will need to pay someone. You are absolutely right. Wall expires after Wood is due for a raise, hopefully EG is traded by the deadline, and hopefully Theis is attractive enough for someone looking for solid bench help. So while I'm not necessarily against keeping him and even paying him the max, I am more concerned about the bigger picture that this franchise needs to look at .

Hey, if we turn this season around and suddenly become winners, than by all means, keep the guy. But we all know, especially my boy @Reeko, that this team is currently not good enough. As others have pointed out, this season and next season we are at a point where we don't have to sweat bullets that OKC is going to keep our lottery pick. I don't necessarily advocate for tanking, but there are two damn good prospects in this upcoming draft that it would be a damn shame if we missed out. I understand @hakeem94 is attracted to threading water, but as a bigger picture person, I'm definitely not. I'm not asking the Rockets to lose, after all, they are not good enough to win games which is why we will continue being a bottom dweller this season, so I ask you to ask yourself, why not cash in on Wood if an incredibly good deal is there. None of us are asking to trade him for trash either.

 

LOL

You must be mistaking me for someone else.

I've always been the same poster, my posting style hasn't changed.

I can agree to disagree. I respect many posters, you were one, who can argue basketball without making it personal.

But once you take a shot at me I don't lay down, expect the same heat right back at you.

I just magnify it by several thousand joules.

 

I wonder if we should trade Wood for Simmons?
