    Lebron knew Wood was the key to a championship. He got his Robin!

    Udoka has a lot of miracles to try to work out this season, he didn't need one more headache.

    The Lakers got him for a bargain - good GMing on their part.

    Wood is an absolute enigma. Do you know how bad you have to be at everything else to be a 6'10" high average 3 point shooter and still be considered a bad player? Like, so bad.

    Did I say enigma? I meant enema.

    Christian Wood legit sucks.

    I've never seen a player with emptier stats, and less interested in playing winning basketball. Has all the skills necessary on the offensive end to be good in the modern game, but only plays for himself, to the detriment of the whole team. If he isn't involved, he has absolutely no interest in playing. Its 4 on 5 with him on the court. And thats just the offensive end. He takes EVERY defensive possession off.

    Theres a reason nobody wanted him this offseason, despite his numbers.

    Christian Wood might legitimately be my most hated Rockets of all time. Jeremy Lin, Ty Lawson, Stromile Swift, Othella Harrington are a few honorable mentions. But Wood is the most selfish, unaware, egotistical and pathetic basketball player I've seen on this team.

    Actually Royce White. Royce White was actually somehow worse. Christian Wood actually played in games and didn't try to leverage a mental disorder to get more playing time and did somehow use it to get the Rockets to buy him an orgy bus.

    Now that CWood has signed the thread is no longer valid. Please note that I only wanted him as a backup center and in no world that we exist in would want him starting over Sengun. He is much better than Boban or the others and quite honestly probably better than that Jock guy we wasted 32 million on. As a pure 3rd string backup he will be very serviceable to the Lakers if needed.

    Lebron also wanted Westbrook and Carmelo on the Lakers.

    Westbrook traded mid season.

    Anthony, after his one and only season with LAL; had to retire.

    :rolleyes:

    Is LeBron gonna put his finger in Woods face when he blows his defensive assignments? Wait and see on the next episode of the Geriatric Lake Show!

    Cwood ego would never allowed him to be a back up center to sengun.
    Man legit pouted and quit mid game playing for us, the cwood believers thinking he would change his mindset playing behind sengun?

    He'd make an excellent "self-made at home" fantasy player. I mean look at that paper!

    Lakers aren’t going to want him spraining that finger from overuse.

    Cwood is a sleeper fanasty game player. Pick him up if u need points, but a garbage basketball player.
    Man had luka on his team and still couldn't b a team player and play like an actual big man.

    Doesn't play with heart or effort on defense.
    Always half ass his screens.
    Always demanding the ball at the 3 pt line.

    There's multiple of reasons why he's always passed around and couldn't stick with a team
