Coincidence that Wood is missing games too?
Mavs Film Room is making a pretty big leap there. There are 28 other possibilities if there is a trade coming. Plus, Thibs benched Fournier a few weeks ago and it didn't foretell a trade.
With Reddish also a healthy scratch, Grimes played 40 minutes yesterday. Seems NY needs a SF if they aren't going to play Fournier and plan to trade Reddish. The best SF candidates Dallas has are both former Knicks...been there done that. Also, Wood joining a crowded front court with Randle, Toppin, Robinson, Hartenstein and Sims on the roster doesn't make sense. Seems like some big or bigs would need to go. But, other than Sims, none of those guys sat yesterday. Doesn't that kill the healthy scratch theory?
Could Wood play center next to Randle and give them much needed spacing (or better, come off the bench next to Toppin)?. Robinson can't be traded until January. Hartenstein, who would be a dream here, is 10 days from being trade-eligible. Could you do something along the lines of:
Wood/Bullock/(Could send another contract, but don't have to as NY has NG guys who can be cut)
for
Hartenstein/Rose/Reddish?
IH Powell McGee
DFS Maxi Bertans
THJ Reddish Pinson
SD Green Hardy
Luka Rose Frank
Do we have to add something to that? Unprotect our pick? A young player? Wood/Bullock for IH/Rose seems fair straight up. NY paid a first for Reddish and there is some upside there. Seems we'd need to add something for the Reddish part of this.
