Christian Wood
The Houston Rockets finished with the worst record in the league last season. A similar fate is expected this year and that means the front office can decide to make some big moves and blow it up.
If they do, there are plenty of veterans that can be moved as soon as possible. Eric Gordon has been mentioned but Christian Wood might be first on the list.
Wood has dominated both ends during his time in Houston. He is a double-double threat night in and night out. Wood fits the bill of a stretch four in the league today that can rebound on both ends.
When thinking about potential fits for Golden State, Christian Wood is near the top of the list because of his ability to play fast. Wood has experience teaming up with elite guard lay and there are few, if any, better than Golden State. The Rockets need to move Wood and take advantage of his value at the moment.
