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

[WillE]

My hot take from this trade is that Wood won't be a center for us moving forward, but rather a high powered offensive wing and will take more of Maxi’s minutes.

I agree that he's not a center, but I'm not sure if your conclusion that he takes Maxi's minutes is right.

If no other big will be added, then I would expect the minutes of every wing/big to decrease. But as agreed, since Wood is not a C, Maxi and DP will need to handle most of these minutes.

We will see, how this works out, but I actually can't wait to see the following five hit the floor:
Doncic
Brunson
Finney-Smith
Wood
Kleber

However, I tried pencil in the minutes distribution and realized the 'problem' we do have with another contributor in Wood. There's just not enough minutes for everybody! If Wood will only get 25, everybody else will need to give:

From that point of view it is probably now the time to convert Green and Bertans as players with already not enough time into something more 'helpful'. Coaches will have lots to do to keep the players with already less playing time happy...
