    It's funny to see that there are a few posters that want to sign the guy. I mean we experienced a couple of years of Wood shitty attitude and yet they still want him here. But it's no surprise because those are the same individuals that are in love with the Bol Bol's and Mo Bamba's of the world.

    He's a free agent looking at a minimum contract and some people here want to take another flyer on him.

    Count me in 100%. He is exactly what we need. A tall. backup PF/C who can hit threes and score 20 points on the cheap. He also is athletic and talented. No worse attitude than KPJ or Brooks, but much much cheaper. We go absolutely nowhere with grandpa 6’8” Green and 6’4” Tate playing PF/Center. Stone is like Morey and doesn’t value size and that’s why we won’t take action on a big guy.

    Rockets legend. Rockets are the only team in the past 8 years that kept Wood for more than 1 season

    Exactly - Christian Wood doesn't care, so why should we care.

    He can go sign with the uninspiring Bulls and the local media can speculate that Scottie Pippen must have dripped in Wood's mom almost 30 years ago.

    Looks like it is now well known around the league that Wood is cancerous. There's a reason why a 6'10 efficient scorer in his prime is having a hard time getting a vet min contract.

    The folks that still want him to do round 2, have as low of a bball iq as he does himself

    i still remember all the nonsense "hes a 3rd/4th option on a contender" bs. Oh playing with Luka is going to unlock him. he's going to get paid! blah blah blah.

    Chill, he is not on the Rockets.

    He is a walking disturbance but on other teams, it could be great entertainment.

    He is still a good shooter and rebounder for a big.

    The Rockets are known masochists, they traded or signed Austin Rivers, Dillon Brooks, Westbrook, Artest, known malcontents or hotheads before.
    Never severely punished guys like KPJ.

    Also traded for Derek Fisher just in name.

    Anyway, that part made me guffaw

    So do the Lakers - let them be an entertaining failure.

    If you're point here is that with Wood we go somewhere, i think the argument is that is not who Wood is...he's not going to take you anywhere

    The reality is Wood is much much much more talented and skilled than Jock Landale, but for some reason you homers think he’s worth 32 million and we can go to the finals with Jock, Grandpa Green and 6’4” Tate as our backups. Sure…..I’m the one with no knowledge of basketball. I was the first to hate on small ball, Silas, Nix, etc. and everyone eventually jumped on my coattails and followed. Same will happen here with the lack of enough backup bigs.

    Yes, you're CLEARLY the one with no knowledge of basketball. It's not only on this subject, it's about EVERYTHING you say.
