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

[Winter]

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

I'm sure he is going to play center for the Mavericks. Reports are that he has not played well as a wing when put with another center, and I'm guessing Kidd and Nico mapped this out initially and penciled him in as a starting center - where he is clearly more comfortable. The center position is where his offensive tools can best be utilized with Doncic .

Now it's possible Maxi gets fewer minutes on the wing, but I see Maxi as a backup center and a wing that can move between the two positions in a way Wood can't (as of yet). And fewer minutes for Maxi is not a bad thing. 

With a little more depth, this is a very good team.
