Christian Wood is a Rocket (UPDATE : Yes -- it's true)

Good god if this were to be the case we would ****ing suck

 

Would still love it we also signed Ibaka too.

Russ
Harden
PJ
Wood
Ibaka

Now that is an improved roster vs. last season.

 

Just got home and jumped on the Christian Wood rollercoaster thread--WOW what a ride! Like Wood, would have rather paid in the $11-12M range, but that's not a bad deal. He can flourish with Harden and James may actually average a few more assists if we can add 1-2 more shooters. Glad we're getting rid of Trash (Rivers)--never liked that guy, tried to embrace him as a Rocket and did for a bit, but he's just a 10-11 man from my perspective.

Will be interested in what Stone Cold or maybe Cold Stone can turn the Wood sign-in-trade into.

 

EGo has to be heading out, no way Tilly is letting this happen on his watch.

 

Trade PJ Tucker..offensive liability, overrated defensively.

 

So no MLE?

 

This dude is super tall.

 

that’s how Fertitta likes it—a few glam spots in front but plenty of crap underneath

 

What? No.

 

No doubt about that. Only they make the numbers to match up.

 

With house For AG and Bamba

 

WORD

 

This move basically means nothing if we dont keep Harden.

 

**** all you "LMAO" passive aggressive one trick ponies...who root against our team on a regular basis...you call yourself fans...same ole shtick...all in an attempt to lift yourself up by condescending to the rest of the board. In reality, you have no game, so you spew this every day... for years. It's y'all who bring down the quality of the board. ...and the positive vibes with your negativity. This thread is a prime example.

 

Let’s not push it. Tilman going broke as is paying for current team

 

From my expert knowledge of him, comprised entirely from youtube videos the past few days...

Seems like he is much better than Capella offensively and not as good defensively. His took 150 threes last year and made them at a .389% clip.

The previous 4 including g-league he shot them at a 28%.

Perhaps some regression is expected, but the fact that he CAN shoot them is a big plus.

Woods was a really good signing and would be a bigger deal if not for the Harden/Westbrook issues.

Regarding Ibaka... it's doubtful. The sign and trade hard caps the rockets. They are currently about 2 million or so under the tax line and about 8 million from the hard cap.

 

Right. Wood really is perfect for this roster if most of the team remains and what Wood did last season wasn't a fluke.

Harrell and Russ on the floor together would be terrible.

 

Could Tillman really redeem himself right as Harden/Westbrook say dueces LOL? I mean, Stone has been MONEY so far.

RN, before any more moves...

Westbrook, Clemons
Harden, EG, McLemore
House, Nwaba
Tucker
Wood

That's pretty legit...
