    I love (Christian) Wood! He's 6'10, shoots the 3 at a good percentage, rebounds and can guard the wings. I know some on this board HATE Wood and won't him traded but I think he is just beginning to grow as a player.

    On last night's telecast they said the Rockets are the first team he's been with consecutive seasons. Also, IF he stays healthy, this will be his first full NBA Season....FOR A 26YR OLD, HE HAS NO NBA MILEAGE.

    I fully think in 2 yrs, Wood, Sengun, Green, Tate, Christopher, KMJ, Brooks, Garuba and KPJ will be a helluva nucleus

    I sincerely hope ALL of y'all got the joke! Lol. It's too many women out here to be NEAR a closet, let alone coming out but I do like Christian Wood's game and hope he stays a Rocket.

    Only time will tell but I think Green and KPJ will need 2yrs to get to NBA level players. And if you move them beforehand, you're selling to soon.

    Green needs about 15-20 more lbs. KPJ just needs experience and for that matter, so does Wood. However, if you're offered a young All-star level player for one or two of them, I think you may have to take it

    You came out of the closet when you decided you prefer Wood? I’m proud of you but I think this might be the wrong forum.

    Again congratulations. So proud of this forum for not judging your feelings. It took decades for the phobia to dilute this well.

    Obligatory I love player now after the win lol Anyways he is a good player and it remains to be seen if he can do what he did against OKC against the rest of the league. The issue is the Rockets will have to pay him big money soon, so I dont blame anyone for wanting to trade him if they feel he isnt worth it.
