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

My disagreement is about the window. True just like any team with LeBron, any team with Luka is ready to win. But just like Lebrom, Luka is not going to win a title by himself. We can’t get carried away by what happened this season and feel we are on the cusp. Keep some young cheap pieces also.  


Even teams with two legit studs and legit in contention have always found the ability to have a mix of veterans and younger players.  All of them don’t have to be in the rotation in the playoffs. The season is long and grueling too. The youth helps there. So if even legit title teams can do that, we can too. It does not have to be black and white that we just need more veterans to put us over the line.

If Wood averages 18/9 on ~39% from 3 with decent defense AND is healthy I’d classify that as a legit number 2, that’s basically what we wanted a healthy Kristaps to be at for a full season. If Wood balls out and Luka is in shape, they will be a damn good duo, and Brunson tossing in 18-20 points a night would be great too even though he’s too small to ever be a plus defender.
