You upgrade, short term, to much more usable versions of Ntilikina and Bertans. You have a 3rd guard and a second big who can space. Both are infinitely better than the players they'd replace, though much older. MAYBE you can get a 2nd out of it for Wood, but the prize is dumping Bertans. The "cap space fallback plan" becomes truly real.
You could also do a version that turns THJ into LaVert along with Wood/Bertans going for Love, if you prefer. I like the one above better, personally.
I don't see the fascination of downgrading an already expiring Wood for a washed expiring Love. And getting off Bertans does nothing for the championship aspirations this year.
