Sign a big man if we have any money this off-season. One UFA I like is Jusuf Nurkić. 7 footer who can set picks for our guards and can bang down low with other big men. Maybe trade Wood to the Clippers for Zubac and a future 1st Rounder.
If the lottery Gods treat us right and we land another top 2 pick I hope they'll bring in a big man like Jordan, Drummond, etc. Not saying that either old player is better than Mitchell Robinson but if we can afford to have "vet experience" anywhere that won't take away significant playing time from the young players it's at the 5. Drummond can still rebound the ball at a high level and can set proper picks. I wouldn't be oppose to Robinson either but he might come at a higher price.
So much stupidity!!! Players worth keeping :- Wood, Green, Porter, Tate,Martin,Christopher, Fernando, Possibly Matthews and Sengun. To Go Wallk, Gordon,Lamb,Schroder, Nwba, Nix, Garuba, Queen Looks like 9 players worth keeping. Keep Wood if he dosen't want too much money in his new contract. Next season back in the Playoffs with a new Coach.
I disagree, it's time to start looking at a team that will actually improve. Granted, we won't win many games still, but we shouldn't be in tanking mode anymore next season. You don't always have to land top picks. Look at the Suns, Warriors, Grizzlies, etc, they found good/great players later in the lottery.
Oh yeah, I'm ready to get rid of Wood. He doesn't fit this team long term. Tate, I like him, but if he doesn't get his three point shot going, then I'm okay moving him, although I doubt we move him since he is on a cheap deal. My hope is that we sign an actual big man and not an undersized guy. I'm tired of always being short. Can we sign some lengthy players for once? Getting rid of EG and John Wall would be fantastic, but I'm not holding my breath. I really really really would like for us to get a PG to move KPJ to SF. It seems that this team believes in KPJ, but my hope is that they stop wasting our time with him at PG, that's not his long term position. I'm sure he can continue getting assists, but that doesn't make him a PG.

why is the first voting option involving sengun necessary? This poll already shows a bias for Sengun singling him out against the rest of the team. Really makes little sense.
Why matthews? Terrible terrible defender and very wild and streaky shooter. He would be a perennial bench player on most teams or overseas star. Only reason he plays is when EG is hurt and because Nwaba can’t shoot 3s.
Why shouldn’t Tate start? Best defender and two way player. If he can improve on his 3 pr shooting he is a very valuable player. Lock down defenders shouldn’t ride the bench.
Tate is a superior player to Martin. Tate is only missing the 3 from his game. Not sure why Rockets fans keep undervaluing him. He can run on the break, dribble drive, post while playing lock down defense on the other end. You can’t find too many 2 way players that hustle and make winning plays. The 3 pt shot can always improve and if he gets better this summer that option definitely needs to be picked up.
Lockdown? Jsut cuz he leads the league in fouls committed don’t make him a great defender. He’s the best defender in our front court but that’s not really saying much
Considering this post was made a month ago. Big bad Bruno can play. Interesting what Rockets do with him.
yeah stupid bias. Ridiculous how some of these fans hype him up so much. Disrespectful to all the other players which several are better than him.
He has played lockdown defense on whomever he guards going vertical, taking charges, ripping balls out and diving for loose balls. Guards multiple positions and can switch. How many players in the league does what he does? Please review all of the games closely for the past 2 years. I’m not sure why this is even a debate.
I just want Wood gone. Other players that I’d be ok trading: Wall, Gordon, and Tate. Then just hope you get lucky in the lottery and find long term solutions at the 3 and 4/5 (depending on where you want to play Sengun long term)
