    Lol. Mobley is the candidate to win DPOY.
    Wood? Playing air defense every ****ing game!!!
    Wood cares nothing but padding numbers, he is playing soft!

    People would think you are out of mind if you wanna trade Mobley with soft Wood.

    Why on Earth would he want to come back to a team with the 3rd worst record in the NBA?

    Dude wants to win a ring. He's not coming back here, not after the way he left either. The Rockets don't need to let him know they'd welcome him back, HE ALREADY KNOWS.

    He's not going to come back until he wins a ring or unless the Rockets are a contender. If he leaves Brooklyn, he's going to Philly or LA.

    The interesting thing is the reason Harden wanna leaves Nets because he don’t wanna be the guy in Rockets.

    The James Harden Houston Rockets provided me with more entertainment than any other franchise, even more than the Hakeem Rockets because I didn't have the access and ability to watch nearly every game at that age. That said, as a big James Harden fan, I do not want him back. He will get a super max extension and we are 6 years away from being a playoff team. We will need to tank badly for several years to luck into good players. At that point I would welcome James Harden on a minimum contract in his late 30s. I envision him being able to do what Carmelo has done for the Blazers and Lakers in a similar role.

    I hope James gets his bag, has an established home in Houston in retirement and continues to be a part of the community post NBA. By that I mean his charities he continues to be a part of, add more restaurants or jobs, maybe put a few girls at Treasures through college. I would like to see him at UH games, like CP3 was (although he was there partly because he is a Jordan Brand player)

    It really says a lot about how great Harden was as a Rocket that one of the main things people say since his trade is, "He's no Hakeem/ He'll never be Hakeem." He's way beyond anyone else in our franchise history.

    It’ll say a lot less once the Rockets get another franchise player that gets to and/or wins a final.

    yeah really can’t wait to get a generational player, hopefully within the next 20 years.

    There you go, the legend keeps growing. Mobley eats lightening
    and craps thunder.

    Wood has little help around him.
    6'4" Tate with a 115 DRtg
    Sengun with a 112 DRtg
    6'6" KMjr with a 116 DRtg

    Mobley 104 DRtg
    Jarrett Allen 103 DRtg
    Kevin Love 104 DRtg
    Markkanen 107 DRtg

    Are you getting DPOY confused with ROTY

    Because you are just silly..... substitute Wood for Mobley and Wood
    would have a 103 DRtg as a help defender.

    Not a lick of sense. Defense in the NBA is often about who is around you.
    PJ Tucker was a 116 DRtg with Houston and a 115 DRtg with Bucks last year.
    Goes to the Heat and is now 107 DRtg. It matters. Bam at 104 DRtg and Butler
    at 106 DRtg matters.
