    In the BUILDING??

    Just looked at the roster and not one player taller than 7'0. Love the draft but same philosophy! When will we learn??

    Lakers and Nets don't have any 7 footers.

    This team will be competing for lottery balls, so who cares?

    Taller than 7'0!

    Morey thought 6'6 guys were giants

    I think they can reach a Play-In game, 9th or 10th. Are Minn, Sac, N.O, S.A and Memphis that much better than the Rockets?

    they certainly were last year

    You’re really wondering if a Memphis team that won 17 more games than us is that much better?

    I’m just happy that they are adding SKILLED big men. I’ll take a Wood or Sengun over Deandre Jordan or McGee in this era.

    Our best player missed over 30 games, if Wood stay healthy, then yes I think we're better with our additions

    if your best player is Christian Wood, u are not better than the Grizzlies, and your team is simply not that good

    Wood has a 12-41 record in his starts with Detroit and us, you’re making him sound like some star that carries a team to wins

    Yes, he is history and I'm glad! There isn't a case for one particular 7'0 player, I'm sure there are plenty out there that are skilled. it's more the mentality like I pinpointed.

    Perfect case and point, ANTHONY LAMB! Sure he's end of the bench and probably just camp fodder but he is a 6'6 PF! Why extend him a contract??

    I LOVE our guards but when it comes to Forwards, we have always been lacking on height. I love how Toronto always have long forwards ranging from 6'8 - 7'0. Similar to the Lakers when they had Kobe and Shaq, similar to the Pistons with Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars.....front court size matters.

    Even this yr., Milwaukee's size were down Phoenix.

    Averaging 20 and 10 his FIRST yr as a full time starter is damn good! I'll take it

    Daniel Theis and Alperen Sengun are Big Men who can move Big Centers away and Grab those Rebounds unlike the last 2 Seasons.

    Having no PJ Tucker as a 6'4 Center and No Kelly Olynek who is Lightweight and can't play defense or move Centers to grab those Rebounds.

    Hopefully the Rockets can find and Draft tall Small Forwards, who can shoot and defend

    20 and 10 with a bunch of L’s…similar to Nikola Vucevic

    if your best player is Christian Wood, your team is not good

    Barring injury to MIN, NO, MEM, and SAC's star players, yes they are in another tier. we're in the bottom 3 with SAS and OKC, and that's fine for 1 more year until our young guys develop and learn how to win.
