    Like the “younger” part of that tweet. Not the “smaller” part, though.

    He was always temporary? I feel like he just came here to prove he could still play...not sure he proved that, he proved he could be like a big you toss in there sometimes.

    If we get anything for him it'll be a plus. If not, meh, I don't mind him staying for the year. Looks like he's at least a good veteran presence.

    He’s tall but we were losing the minutes he was on the floor.

    -7.1 net rating since Harden trade.

    Can’t keep playing a guy like that who has zero chance of being a part of our future.

    No different than the Melo situation. We gave it a shot and he sucked.

    He’s only 22 years old. You pay smart people a lot of money. Figure it out. Cut the money from somewhere else if pinching pennies is what you’re worried about. Or better yet sell the damn team if you’re in over your head.

    You guys have to understand...the problem with this team is that they are trash offensively. Small ball actually helps the defense. Woods is our center. We dont really need that many Cs on the roster, maybe one more and thats it. Small ball is here to stay.

    Damn. Boogie was the perfect tank commander. Wonder how John Wall feels about this.

    I truly don't understand this blind love for Green. We already have plenty of guys at his position plus I want the young guys to get more playing time not less.

    It would be awesome if they somehow got off Wall's contract in a smart trade. I'd be really excited then...

    Will this finally get people to stop asking for Wood to play the 4? He is the exact 5 that Silas wants and needs. I just hope we plan to actually play another center, because watching the small-ball for even just 20 minutes a game just hurts.

    i would think he is being traded since they guaranteed his contract. Probably a TE or low second round pick. We are horrible on defense when Boogie plays.

    Small ball is fine, if you have the personnel to do it. We don’t have a 6’9 PF that can play the 5.

    Tucker, Tate, and KJ Martin as small ball 5s? No f***ing thanks.

    Maybe Boogie is pushing to go, maybe HE doesnt want to be here too.

    But is the self proclaimed franchise player ready to look in the mirror?

    That is better question.

    And more vertical.

    Taller but no verticality is useless.

    Excellent, Rockets are taking the steps to push through with the rebuild. So how would Wall rate DMC’s desire to be here?
