It only takes one. What I tried to show with the second list is how quickly someone can get in the mix.
Mavs can try to play tough, but they can't really afford to, imho. They can lose way more if a certain player walks than gain by saving a couple of million. That is of course, if winning is the main priority.

Bryant is playing well, but he will likely be gone next season and LAL desperately needs shooting. I agree they have other priorities to solve, but I could see them in the mix.

Another move is not needed, if they do it at TDL. They can trade for him using Trent salary directly or three way. Both Trent and FVV can walk in the summer and Toronto would have cap space in this scenario.

The second part might be the reason GSW wouldn't be interested for him at all. But if they would be, I think he would start. Wiseman was supposed to be the starter there, but that one failed.
Clippers are looking for a center and/or PG. Either just a back-up for Zubac or his replacement. I think they were in Turner rumors. Zubac is their weak link, they always play better without him in serious games. I agree a defensive minded center would make more sense for them. But, if they would go for Wood, Zubac is going out.
