    We want to be the team that finds Christian Wood, not the team that pays Christian Wood.


    DON’T PAY CHRISTIAN WOOD

    Relax, he can be traded this summer or next year, you don't make moves just to make moves.

    CW lowered his value when he refused to enter the game, would a contender want to add that element to their locker room?

    I believe the max for Wood is something like $19 mil so I think most people's concerns here are pretty overblown. Even at that amount he would still be tradeable

    Surely a player that’s worth at least 3 1st round picks should be making max money

    I certainly hope he is not given the max.

    When you want to build your team around Wood and Porter, two losers… it isn’t looking good.

    What else are they going to do with all that cap space? Of course they’re going to waste it on mediocrity.

    You’re watching the Knicks, except the arena is empty.

    Porter is actually looking like a new improved player after suspension.

    Wood just looks like ass. Half ass defense/screens. Gets his points then does nothing

    Porter is very talented… but I’m not paying big dollars to someone with his history, you can’t count on him ….which is too bad because he is gifted.

    That awkward conversation between Stone and Wood's agent.

    Are you serious? Do you know how many lava cakes from The Rainforest Cafe Tilman has to sell to make $330,000,000?

    He would have to steal the waiters tip pool for like 20 years to pay for that.

    He's beginning to play his way past any argument against on the hardwood. As long as he keeps his nose clean, and mind focused... the world's his oyster. The guy's our best player.

    He is playing better… but how long ago was it that he left the game at halftime? When you are talking about paying a player huge money for a long period, that stuff matters. He doesn’t attend morning practice like the coaching staff has asked him to do.

    He is the Rockets second most talented player… and currently the best player on the team. He has improved defensively (he needs to get better) and has been a lot better offensively. I love his ability… but I’m not personally comfortable relying on him being the best or second best player on my team, especially when he is in line for a big extension.

    If they do give him a big extension, I hope I am wrong but I think they would regret it.

    The Club will want to keep Wood on the Roster and will slightly improve his contract,
    Possibly he might be with us for several seasons more. Y
