    Since Wall was traded for Westbrook, shouldn't we measure his availability vs Westbrook. Who sat out numerous games as well...

    Wood is best Rockets player, not even close.

    Dipo is 2nd. And he hasn't played a minute yet for Rockets.

    Wood #1 might be one of the worst #1's I've seen in the past 25 years.

    Doesnt change the fact that he is Rockets best player now.

    Unless Dipo returns to All Star pre-injury form from 2 years ago.

    Even if Wall returns to his pre-injury form from 2 years ago, Wood still better.

    Boogie pre-injury form would be better than all 3 but he is the biggest longshot IMO.

    Guess you never watched KAT play, or Kevin Love on the Cavs. There are a lot worse #1s in the NBA.

    That's a good point. Maybe Wall just needs a bit of a stretch before he plays. Has he not been stretching before games? I haven't paid that much attention because I just assumed that he had.

    He's at least on Scola/Martin level.

    Lol there are way worse. Who's been the Knicks number 1 since Melo? Remember when Michael Carter Williams was the best player on the 76ers?? Who's the Hornets number one?

    It is feasible that he developed tendonitis or something after a 2 year break and then coming back and playing pretty heavily.

    55 games of him playing at 19/8/5 Should help to restore some trade value especially if he plays well toward the latter part of the year..


    If Wall/Gordon/Dipo/Cousins get healthy Hey sneak into the playoffs where they are all in a pretty good spot I could see us challenging our first round opponent.

    Kevin Love is not the cavs number one player, that belongs to the young bull collin sexton.

    John Wall is the leader of this team, highest paid, most allstar appearances and the point guard. Wood is not touching that. He could be giving numbers, but based on the eyetest for the first 11 games - doesnt look like a number 1 to me. He gives off a statchasing vibe, really hope im wrong.

    Wall was content staying in washington knowing he would never sniff a conference finals in his career. He is a lazy injury prone player who is destined to sit out half of every season. This is what he does

    Seeing a player recover this well from a Achilles tear where he still has speed and quickness tells me he works hard.

    I don't know how an Achilles tendon tear is indication that someone is lazy. Those are freak injuries.

    He missed nearly 2 years... Thats a very ordinary time table. Not something to be proud of

    We won’t be going to the playoffs, so I’m happy our young guys are getting some burn.

    This take on Wall is so wrong. Dude was known for playing through injuries. He only missed games for serious injuries but he played hurt all of the time
