I don´t slam the trade, I´m very interested in the follow-up. 12 months from now Wood could walk. If we just use the three open roster spots to sign Pinson and two old folks, then we potentially gained nothing. Of course Wood could also be awesome and we make some great decisions for the rest of the summer. Nevertheless this excuse of he´s two years away from two years away is getting stupid. You can find exceptional players late in the 1st round and early in the 2nd round. Obviously the chances are small, when you don´t commit to the process and only have one pick every five years. If you collect and cultivate the assets then you´ll eventually hit on them like Memphis. With the new supermax contracts, you need these cheap contributors. If the Mavs morons had completed the tank properly in 2017, we might have Tatum and Luka right now.

Although I will say that Collins is about the level where I start to be ok with using future picks. And, I do still think he fits, even after the Wood trade.

It's not likely, but I would still explore it just in case. Maybe he's ready to win after two awful years in Detroit.

John Collins is still my target for a big trade. Not sure this is the offseason it would happen, but being able to play Luka, JB, DFS, JC, and CW would be incredible. I absolutely trade Maxi+RB+JG+picks for JC.

I agree that this is a championship lineup that could compete with GS. PG - Luka SG - Brunson SF - Finney Smith PF - Collins C - Wood I'd throw any of the roster not listed above and future picks to make that happen.

Very talented roster. Worth dreaming about. Not sure there’s enough defense there, however. Might be worth doing anyway as sort of a transitional, stepping stone attempt.

Would be the best offense in the league, but I don't see how even Kidd could make that a top 10 defense. The only plus defender in that group is Dorian.

Dinwidde was a terrible defender and locker room cancer as well. At least according to Wizards fans. Turned out that he was just in a completly dysfunctional environment. I would argue the situations are a little different. I don't think there was anything negative about him in Brooklyn, and the only reason he left there was bad timing with the knee and they were big game hunting. Wood has a lot more history of attitude issues that go way beyond Houston. I'm not saying he can't pull his shit together in a better situation but I think the history is a lot worse than Din.

Wood has a slight frame, which doesn’t help, but he just doesn’t seem to move as fast as he should to the ball. Wood’s athleticism will bail him out occasionally, but he only averaged one block per game during his two seasons in Houston. Opponents shot 63.1 percent at the rim against Wood last season, which isn’t good enough for a starting center. For those curious — that number for Powell last season was 62.7 percent and Wood doesn’t compensate his poor rim defense with an ability to switch and trap on the perimeter like Powell can." While I am not thinking they need another center, you make a good case for a defensive-oriented big. OTOH it isn't quite as easy as getting a big defender, because it's hard to get a guy like this on the floor if his offense is quite inferior. Guys like Gobert and Ayton got played off the floor in the playoffs, and it will be so hard to find one who is better than them. If you could platoon your scoring bigs and your defending bigs, then it works. But you can't. So now what?

McGee who is a good defender and has enough offensive game that he'll need to be respected. Is also someone we can afford and will not be looking for starters minutes.

McGee seems like the most realistic option that I would want myself, he's also a guy with rings that he could show off to make the rest of the guys hungrier. If Hartenstein could be had for the MLE that would be a massive coup though even if it would be expensive on the tax. We have 4 open spots. I guess we don't have to fill them all but Dragic, a bigger wing, and McGee would probably do to really shore up our depth RE: TRADE: Christian Wood (1yr/$14.3M) to DAL | #26+SB+Boban+Chriss+TB to HOU - loki - 06-17-2022 (06-17-2022, 12:32 PM)ItsGoTime Wrote: How far does that backseat go?
