TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[KillerLeft]

I think most folks who are in on trading for Collins think he is at least as good as Wood and a better fit.  They probably believe in his 39% 3 point shooting over the last three seasons more than the 21% he is shooting in the last 30 games.  They probably think he is a better defender at both the 4 and the 5, has a higher BBIQ and has less red flags.  They also may not be excited about the leverage Wood will have over the Mavs if he hits free agency as we would have no way to replace him.

I get all of that, and it's all valid...but something in the back of my mind is still screaming "just extend Wood!" 

Just a feeling, I suppose.
