TRADE: Christian Wood (1yr/$14.3M) to DAL | #26+SB+Boban+Chriss+TB to HOU

[StrandedOnBeauboisHill]

Just saw Wood allows 63.1% at the rim. That's even worse than Powell. We can hope that number improves under Kidd but he could make a decent sized improvement in that regard and still be bad. I think it would be wise if one of those extra spots goes to some sort of defensive minded rim protecting big for the times we're getting punked by a more traditional big like Looney

I agree that we didn't improve rim protection but we improved defensive rebounding by A LOT.  The number of times we played good defense but didn't finish the possession with a rebound was really painful.  Not saying we shouldn't be trying to improve rim protection but saying that if Wood can just prove to be as switchable as Powell then we improve our defense simply by adding a much better rebounder in the front court.
