    The Brabra "confirmation" makes it less likely to be true.

    Westbrook / Gordon
    Harden / McLemore
    House / Nwaba
    Tucker
    Wood

    We still need frontcourt help, and we need a point guard that can step in when someone gets hurt of for spot minutes, like Rivers did for us.

    I don’t know if we have enough. Wood could easily get 15+ mil from somewhere and MLE is not gonna cut it.

    One reason it could happen...very very few team have cap space.

    Atlanta- $44M
    New York- $35M
    Charlotte- $19M

    Those are all the teams that have over $9 million in cap space (ie more than the NTMLE).

    Atlanta already has Capela, Collins, Okungwu and Labissiere.

    New York already has Robinson, Randle and Obi Toppin.

    Charlotte already has Biyombo, Zeller, PJ Washington and Vernon Carey.

    So none of the teams that could sign Wood for more than us are looking to add to their front court.

    What is wrong with you?

    Why would Rockets want BOTH?

    Neither of them are very switchable (on perimeter) or very good post defenders.

    Dude comes on here, reads about what ClutchFans is talking about or who we’d like to acquire, then makes a tweet referencing said thing for clicks.

    You guys really need to stop giving this dude attention.

    @BraBra I'm honestly riding with you bro. You've called enough stuff the past year for me to be a believer. Hope you're right about Christian Wood, and he's a Rocket this time tomorrow.

    Because we have a new coach with a new defensive scheme and we have no big man?

    No he didn’t, I was checking his twitter. He tweeted Deni at 5; other stuff he called was heavily insinuated by everyone else like Poku at 17.

    He’s trying to take credit for a lot of **** recently. He’s pretending he called Klay’s Achilles when that had already done the rounds. ‘Boston are exploring trade options at 30’ is another one he boasted about. No ****, everyone knew that. And it was reported they talked to Houston about it earlier that night.

    Today he tweeted that OKC wants a first round pick for Kelly Ourbe, which yeah...no ****. And that Ainge wants to do a S+T with Hayward. Well of course he does, he just opted out, why wouldn’t you want to do a S+T and get an asset back? That’s just obvious. I see he also just tweeted the Clips want Kris Dunn. This was reported the day the Bulls didn’t extend him a QO

    I’m hoping we get an early tweet from WOJ

    “Christian Wood has agreed to a 4 year 36M deal with the Houston Rockets.” This my wish

    No way you get this guy for just 36 million. Maybe 4 years 80 million. Hear he is a skinny Hakeem Olajuwon.
