Will the Rockets still have a chance to say goodbye to Wood before the trade deadline? There's no denying that Wood at this stage is indeed one of the best players in the team. The reason there have been rumors of a deal is simple: it doesn't match the need for reconstruction.
But the Rockets may be thinking a little more about it at this point than they were at the beginning of the season. Wood and Gordon have been on the trade list before, for the same reason: the Rockets want to give Jaylen Green the opportunity to grow. Wait until their rookies first grow up, and build a team directly around Green.
But now, Green hasn't kept up with expectations. CC Cunningham, who also just started to struggle, has played a 30+ quasi-triple-double data, looking at Cunningham, Mobley are crazy output, has the Heart of the Rockets cooled a little?
