Christian Wood looks unhappy 

Post#1 » by Openheimer » Sun Mar 21, 2021 9:39 pm

Anyone catch Wood shaking head in disbelief at how badly Wall was hogging the ball and refused to pass it to him when the game was on the line? Man I can see him asking out of this situation by seasons end. Not sure he signed up for this mess

Player on team that has lost 20 straight games looks unhappy...nothing unexpected there. These guys are competitors. Doesn’t mean he needs to wants to be traded. We don’t need to read into every action or word of these guys.

The rockets should trade him. They are tanking at a level that make thunder fans envious.

Wood seems more like a stats guy to me. He never passes himself. Looks like he just wants to average 25 and be an all star more than winning. Most of all, he doesn't set picks. He slips every screen. He doesn't realize that he would get the ball a lot more if he did that one simple thing

It's actually remarkable how toxic the Houston Rockets have become.

Wall-Oladipo is truly the backcourt of hell.

You know the franchise has hit rock bottom when the best player is unhappy and demanding a trade.... and it's Christian Wood. :lol:

Honestly i feel bad for Silas if anyone. Dude got a rotten deal taking over a sinking ship. He got done dirty. I'd rather have a bunch of nobodies who'd at least buy in at what the coach is saying than some disgruntled veterans thinking they are better than they actually are.

I hope they all get traded and Houston get some picks or young pieces.

It always seemed in Washington like Wall had a cloud of negativity around him.

Well would be smart to keep Wood around as Huston really on has him to build around.Very little talent left on the Rockets as you just have Dipo(Who'll be trade this week or gone after the season),Gordon(who's hurt once again),Wall & Wood.Not a lot to work with and going to be more then likely in a long rebuild.

Man, the Wizards have won that trade, and they got Westbrook 150 millions deal, Wall may be the better player, but no way Westbrook will allow this toxic atmosphere on his team.
Defense wins draft lotteries!

That was the big story leading up to winding up with Detroit. Suddenly got consistent playing time, I don’t remember hearing anything up until he started asking his Twitter followers where he should sign.

Strongly implies that he wanted to stay in Detroit, but it really seems like there was a lot more to it.

I hoped Detroit would keep him, but I feel like we dodged a bullet

So Houston has a selfish point guard(wall) not a high character guy in Wood and a push over coach in Silas then what could go wrong :lol:
