The Locked-On guys did a trade pod yesterday talking about some of the rumor dump that went on yesterday (thanks to Kamm for posting most of them).
Nothing earth shattering. Pissed me off a bit that Green was included in just about every trade they made. I also found it interesting how many times they had Wood in a deal. They had one question where they asked if it is the 11th hour on trade deadline day and you don't have a Wood extension in place, would you...
It was a deal with Charlotte that brought back Mason Plumlee and Rozier. Can't recall the specifics (but I'm sure it included Josh Green).
I've said on several occasions that I think Charlotte is the most logical destination if Wood is traded (in fact, I find it hard to find other spots that make sense). So, I played around with my own version (that didn't include Green...good grief). Mine had Wood and LeVert going to Charlotte, THJ to Cleveland and Mason Plumlee and Rozier to Dallas. I go to all this trouble to say that the most shocking thing about plugging that into the Trade Machine is its LEBRON calculation gave Dallas FIVE more wins. LEBRON has a 1.82 for Rozier compared to a slightly negative rating for THJ (EPM has those two swapped). Both LEBRON and EPM rate Plumlee over Wood as does VORP as does WS.
An indictment of the the advanced stat world? Or, an indictment of our eye tests regarding Wood? Or, does Mason Plumlee not suck nearly as much as the next half dozen posters are about to tell me.
