    Spalding signed to 2 way should have been done last season instead of Frazier or Clemons, I was banging drum on this.

    But this better not be an excuse not to trade for another big.

    BT is going to be a player, losing him sucks.

    Sign him to Vipers ASAP.

    You have to be mistaking BT for another player.

    He has very good handles, better passer than Mase and best 3-D wing of all our young players with Vipers.

    Spalding is long and looks fairly athletic. We could use that right about now. Maybe they know PJ might be slowed up some with the latest injury and Wood is out for a while longer. Two young long athletes around the paint should be a good thing. I hope they bring him up soon so he can get some run while Wood is out.

    I wasn’t impressed by what I seen of Thomas... I would’ve rather kept him over Kurucs though

    Is one of the ball brothers available? A Spalding Ball duo in the starting lineup would be awesome...

    In a way Spalding can be considered Wood lite.

    Not even close. We need to quit $&@“$&@ around and pick up a legit backup center. Not impressed at all with his g league highlights.

    I'm not sure everyone realizes how good Wood is offensively.

    Spalding is not bringing that offensively versatility.

    Spalding is a roller and average to below average 3ball shooter.

    But he is very good iso/perimeter defender.

    Wood is better rim protector.

    Not going to pretend I know who Spalding is, but I like it already since he is 6'10 tall.
    Previous Rockets regimes would have signed a 6'5 center HAHAHAHA

    You can think of Spalding as giving Boogie a break kind of player until Wood returns. Then after that we'll be able to see the real benefit.

    Good, sounds like he will be comfortable on the Rockets then.
