Rockets big forward Garruba, shooting guard Armony Brooks and Jarrow will not play in the next Rockets away game against the Wizards due to triggering a health and safety agreement, and the same will not appear, as will the familiar John Wall. The 31-year-old veteran, who already has an agreement with the Rockets, is no longer playing for the Rockets this season, and wall won't be able to play even if he returns to the Wizards home game he's familiar with.
But fortunately, against the Wizards, who have strong firepower on the outside, the Rockets are not without the ability to fight. Wood and Kevin Porter Jr. finally returned to the team after ending a one-game suspension. The Rockets didn't play today, but the whole team did regular training, and we also saw Potter Jr. and Wood Jr. appear in the Rockets' training lineup again in the photos on the scene.
After a small locker room storm, the current Rockets chose "cold treatment", just one ban for Woodport, in addition to no other additional punishment, it can be said that the Rockets have given Little Potter and Christian Wood face.
There are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys are called kings, and the Rockets are no longer the Harden era, neither a superstar like Harden, nor a first-class point guard like Paul and Westbrook, and no one can stop Wood and Porter Jr. Unless Wall, who is sitting on the bench, comes forward, but unfortunately, Wall's mind is no longer on the Rockets, and these broken things in the Rockets team, Wall does not want to mix more.
Wood came on in today's training and looks like he's in good shape and has completed normal team-wide training. According to US media forecasts, the Rockets will start this game with the Wizards on the road, wood and Porter Jr. will start. Wood's "reunion" with the Rockets looks precious, although the Rockets waited for several days and did not wait for Wood's apology, but Wood is still the tactical core of the Rockets' internal line, and the Rockets' first scoring point and rebounding king.
The Rockets are indispensable to Wood at this stage, after all, Theiss is not suitable for the Rockets' tactical system, Shen Jing is injured and too young, and Garupa has not yet adapted to the NBA's play environment and confrontation rhythm. At present, only Wood can help the Rockets as much as possible on the inside, and if wood is abandoned in favor of other big men, the Rockets' record may be worse.
Houston can't live without Wood for the time being, and in the same way, Wood can't do without the Rockets for now. Although Wood is not in the Rockets' plans, he has one year left on his contract with the Rockets, and wood's 3-year contract will not officially expire until the summer offseason next year (2023). Instead of being tough with the Rockets, it is better to be soft, continue to help the Rockets play games, and wait until next summer to make a decision to change teams.
For Wood, staying in Hugh City for another year is also the most reasonable choice. However, to take a step back, if a team comes to the door this season to discuss the trade with Wood, I believe the Rockets will not refuse, even if the Rockets' record is worse after Wood leaves, it does not matter, after all, it can send Wood and exchange some future assets, which is the biggest victory.
