    Who cares? Green is the only one on the starters who matters.

    Being Bold? lol. Making a trade just to make a trade is DUMB. You are not turning the corner in a year by trading every veteran you can.
    You trade Gordon because of age. Same with Wall. Trading Wood makes no sense.

    Trading Wood makes total Sense. We already have Sengun. This team has been awful with more than one big out there. We are the worst team in the league with him practically in his prime. He's selfish and getting worse by the day. Finally the top 5 picks next year are gonna be bigs and in 2023 he's gonna want a pay raise LOL It would actually be dumb to keep him past this trade deadline.

    No doubt Christian Wood only cares about his own stats and plays selfish, desperately wants to be a All Star on a Lottery Team.

    Christian Wood I think is delusional, only cares about shooting.

    Not defending, switching, blocking shots, playing physical and on offense not passing to open Teammates.

    He still is. Silas has talent on bench that he isnt playing.

    Rafa also worked on Morey deals.

    He was the lawyer to Morey‘s nerd.

    So take the good with the bad.

    I thought it was a deep draft but it was not as great as some hyped it up to be.

    You had some older player that had fewer mileage than other veterans.

    Especially Tate and Wood, they are all 26-27 but only played limited minutes in the NBA.

    It's not pro or anti Green to point out that according to several metrics he's been the second worst player in the league... and arguably the worst.

    I don't want him to suck at basketball, that's just the current reality.

    Yea I call bs. U must b using your boobythegreat metrics instead of legit ones.

    Out all the current active players. A rookie averaging 14 pts is the the worst. Or second worst.

    U r quite a bias Mobley mob.

    Sticks and Stones might break your bones, but Wood will never make the playoffs

    I think he's doing great. We'll have cap space when these 4 x 19 year olds (and one more top 5 pick) are entering their 2nd/3rd seasons. Plus a bunch of mid to late first rounders and swaps which can be churned into another lotto pick or two.

    We're less than 20 games into a season where we drafted four 19 year olds and KPJ is our PG. Stop the drama.

    I'm still wait and see with him. It's not like Stone is this fresh new face, he's been with the organization since Les/CD days.

    Now if you want a GM who completely flubbed a rebuild, look no closer than the Pelicans and David Griffin. Year 3 and yet no better than the day after they traded AD. That's what I hope this team avoids turning into.

    We're barely 20% into the season. It will be fine.

    Jesus! I didn't realize he was sucking THAT much! What the hell happened to that guy? Did he just got the rookie wall early or what?

    Well, every season teams try and market that they have turned the corner and are on an upward trajectory toward a Championship. When your star player gains like 60 lbs in fat and can't even play you've got no hope and nothing to sell.


    The Rockets, post Harden purge, have fragments of the team from last year that are hindering any real ability to invest in the future, namely John Walls $43 million contract. The team walked into the season with the marketing of 'We Are Rebuilding Be Patient' but no one expected Green to struggle so much especially when he has been handed the keys to the franchise and been regarded by many as the #1 pick. So the hope for the future right now has dimmed because Sengun is looking like the only bright spot to build around.

    I think since the team has no other options but to sell the youth as the future they need both Garuba AND Christopher playing heavy minutes in the G League to accelerate the transition. They don't want to go into next season leaning on Garuba and Christopher to make an impact after they have had their asses mostly glued to the bench this year.

    If two of these guys don't take off by next year Rockets will definitely be swimming in Pelican territory.
