    YES! Pad his resumé!

    Hopefully he does an admirable job and his value skyrockets! If the Rockets decide that he’s not the future, we should be able to receive a king’s ransom for him, if the Rockets decide he’s part of our future, he’ll be a good selling point for future free agents…

    (P.S.) Hopefully he doesn’t get hurt and then the opposite will occur…o_O

    Good for him.

    Still not convinced about the US team.

    That team needs him more than the other way around. Team USA is sorely in need of height, even if it's attached to a thin frame like Wood's.

    Wood snubbed again! Hopefully this motivates him to train hard and improve...

    We get Jokic’s backup over a guy that can get you 20/10. Awesome.

    The whole team seemed to lack understanding how to effectively play the FIBA game in their latest games.

    Agreed. There were too many times when the USA players would look at the refs, flabbergasted at not getting a call. It's comical when they turn and realize "Oh right...this ain't the NBA. Sorry force of habit"

    Popovich reminding JaVele of fiba goaltending rules and to swat everything off the rim.

    He gets so excited about his new freedom, he proceeds to swat our shots, too

    He takes **** personally. You can bet this will be one more chip on his shoulder. Hopefully he’ll get stronger ankles from it.

    I guarantee you Popovich has never heard of Christian Wood.
