I may have had this backwards. Maybe we are joining the LAC/Brooklyn trade. Maybe the Nets end up with one of Covington/Morris plus Norman Powell and we end up with Zubac with Wood/Irving going to LAC. Morris/Powell works straight up. If it is Covington/Powell, the Clips have to add another salary (like Mann).
Zubac is a Schwartz guy and is signed for the two years Dallas wants Wood to sign for. He's one of the best O-Rebounders in the league (recall the Iztok article). He was at the "Balkan Dinner" with Luka and Boban and Jokic during the bubble in 2020. I wouldn't have liked a deal for Bojan if Wood was playing center, but like a Zubac/Bojan front-court.
