    who said the report was accurate or true in the first place? I have been telling you guys all along that you cannot always trust what you read especially about a player’s desire to be traded unless you hear it from the mouths of the player himself or the management team via official team statement. Why are people believing the trade rumors and discontent rumors but not the 50 mil rumor? In this business it’s a little of both. A little truth turns into something else when information is conflated and hyperbolized. Read and discern.

    How can someone be a Rocket fan and use a Thabeet comparable over a Stromile Swiff comp?

    *don’t bite my head off, not saying it will be this, but IF he does stink it up then it would be Stromile Swift all over again. He was the big off season signing that Tmac was gonna turn into an all star

    It’s not being sensitive, it’s rightfully calling someone out for something that was totally unnecessary, which needs to happen more often. Let’s just keep it to basketball.

    Difference is that Wood is fully formed and doesn't just have the potential to form like the other wanna be bigs.

    big difference between Swift and Wood:

    Swift was an athlete with no basketball skill, and from reports no basketball IQ.

    Wood can shoot. he shot nearly 37% in over 113 nba games. he's shown the ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the basket or create separation with a step back. he's shown the ability to improve over time. swift had none of these things.
