Get Christian Wood the Hell outta here ASAP for AMAP!

I personally don’t mind if we win OR lose, as long as there is player development. I think ChristWood hinders that (and I also think he’s unlikely to develop further on our team so it’s probably time to move on).

 

I’ve never seen a fan base turn on someone like they have with him. He has some obvious limitations, especially on defense, but he is far from the reason why this is a bad team. I’m not sure he can be a true number 1 on a really good team, and I wouldn’t want to pay him a max contract, but there’s nothing wrong with him as a supporting piece, and that’s what he was supposed to be here. Pair him up with a better supporting cast and I think he’d look a lot better, he’s just not physical enough to be the lone big on a team that wants to constantly go small.

 

Never underestimate the shortsightedness of NBA GMs. Someone will bite if we're dangling.

 

Agreed his return won’t be amazing when guys like turner sabonis and grant are on the market. I’d think that portland for nurkic and 2 picks would be the move since they’re desperate and nurkic is done/gone at end of season.

 

Who doesn’t like Wood?! - that’s what she said

Tacko fall and Rubio broke acl please.

 

Couple issues with wood being bad at defense.

one he’s 26 his potential should be more actualized and he’s been on enough teams to understand defensive rotations

two he’s the sole big. They are the backbone to all team defense. If you can’t have some kind of presence as a rim deterrent than you have to be able to contain the ball handler. He doesn’t do either particularly well and then doesn’t finish the possession with a box out or rebound. If you couple him with a big he is not someone to closeout to corner shooters effectively or play 1 on 2 weak side defense well. If you are committed to KPJ and Green you can’t have wood defensively. Think of him as nurkic/vucevic/kat/Jokic. For those guys to work you need amazing point of attack defenders who don’t die on screens. We look like we won’t have that in our projected future backcourt.

 

respect your post but are u watching the same game? He’s the laziest guy on either side.

 

Don't be a casual!

Spoiler

just kidding, get him the hell out of here and give Sengun all his minutes!

 

Sorry I didn’t make it clear in my post. I agree with you. He makes no effort on defense, is generally soft, and doesn’t communicate. I’ve been expressive in my lack of faith in his defense before.

 

I just feel the guy is so about himself. These random dunks and pose. He’s loving the fact he hit that girl in charlotte. Only time wood has been in the media, he wants the Kardashian fame.

 

Wood has some unique offensive skills for a big...
- Solid 3pt shooter
- Decent handle and ability to drive
- Good P-n-R partner

However, he has a lot of weaknesses...
- Limited post-up game
- Uninspired defender/rim protector
- Passing
- FT shooting
- Injury prone and weak player

I was 50/50 on trading him a few weeks ago, but I've come to see him as Fool's Gold. I don't see him being an Alpha, he's seems better suited as a 3rd option with 1 or 2 dominant players/All-Stars on a team. Perhaps on the right team, they can harness his strengths and cover his weaknesses. The Rockets aren't that team now and won't have that opportunity for 2-3 years. Time for him to fly.

 

Wood is frustrated cause he wants to be the guy and we suck. He is in lose lose situation why be the “ man “ if your the worst team in the league. He was also pissed Sengun was in during crunch time - he entered the game for the last 4 minutes. Would have been interesting to see if Sengun would have stayed out of foul trouble how much longer he would have been left in the game.

 

Strike while the iron's hot.
Anyone know where he lives?
Tar & feather him!

 

Rafael should pull out this line in trade talks.

"He doesn't do a single that helps you win, but duuuuuuuude! He had 22 and 6, he is fine!

 

He never, ever acknowledges the assist after a dunk.
Just stares at his "claw" for a few seconds.
Weak-ass poser.

 

I honestly wonder if signing Theis was in preparation for a Cwood trade now.

Not that the Rockets started this season planning on trading Cwood but just as a backup plan. I mean I still don't get that pick up but it does make sense if they thought there was a possibility of trading Wood.

 

Jalen Green is wayyy more locked in than Christian Wood. He actually plays with some heart.

I am super happy to see that KPJ seems to be falling into the "play with some heart" category, too.





Woody has to go, period. Highest bidder. He is physically weak, he is mentally soft, he is lazy, and he has an extremely tiny penis. Let the bash bros, Goon & Garuba, takeover...

 

great post

 

At least Westbrook gives the appearance of giving a ****

 

I said it in the game thread but Wood plays more like a big slow Guard than an Athletic big.

That’d be fine if the Rockets could play an actual center with him but when he’s the only big on the court in a game like that he should be dominating.

The Wood pick n roll should be a staple of this offense but he doesn’t set good picks and he doesn’t roll to the rim.

Dude should be catching lobs or pocket passes and playing above the rim with his length and jumping ability.

But he’d rather set slip screens all game and just kind of hover.

And I think it’s because he sees himself as a big guard and not an athletic big man.

Sengun picks up some bad fouls but at least he plays tough inside and actually tries to contest shots near the rim.

The more I watch Wood play, the more I want Chet. He’s skinny af but he at least plays tough down low like a damn big man.
