This is just my speculation, but while I think there's a chance the Lakers are the perfect fit for Wood and I'm sure he'll put up some huge stats at times (like he did here), I don't expect he'll contribute to winning in LA anymore than he did here last year.
My reasoning is that it will be yet ANOTHER contract year for him. I know he got the player option in year 2, but let's be honest: he's desperately hoping there will be a market for him next summer, and he's probably delusional enough to think that market should be north of the MLE. When a player who hasn't figured out how to play team ball this long feels like people "don't get" how good he is, my hunch is that he'll be out for his stats again, maybe more so.
