    I don't get it. What about the best player on our team, who is currently avg a double double and who just came of a 33/16 performance? Trade him?? Please!

    Wood guards well on the wing, I think he can improve in the paint but I think that will come over time. Remember, this is his 2nd yr starting full time. Experience is gained over time, not in a microwave.

    Correct, he did come here to play with Harden but I think he is seeing the opportunities of playing with Porter and Green too. If you look at the last 3 games, both Green and Porter have started to put it together. I can't wait until Green returns but a lineup of Green, Porter, Gordon, Matthews, Brooks, Wood, Sengun, Tate is going to be exciting.

    I think if they can add two more pieces, a legit 6'10 PF who can spread the court, run the floor and rebound and another 6'8" player who can shoot the 3, the Rockets will be ready, especially next yr.

    A 20 - 10 center with wood’s skill set doesn’t come around often.

    That’s the kind of production you would hope to get from Chet Holmgren.

    I think Wood is a really good player and would compliment a contending team really well.

    However, I don’t think we’d get an unreal amount for him and I don’t want to be the team that pays him.

    A lot of people here saying Kuminga and multiple firsts, but I personally don’t think GS would do a trade like that straight up.

    I think we could get Wiseman, but unless he’s moved to a third team he doesn’t really help us.

    I think the Kings, Hornets and Bulls could maybe be players.

    Coby White, Marvin Bagley and James Bouknight are young players I think could be moved with other assets for Wood.
