Haliburton next to Green would be a great fit but I do not see SAC trading him. I think they’re more likely to move Fox, who conveniently enough is from HOU. I don’t love Fox next to Green but maybe it could make sense if we nail the next few drafts…I just think he’s a fringe max guy.
lol CHI is not moving Williams nor White and certainly not for Wood no way SAC considers that deal for a second.

How about - Wood, Wall, Gordon, KPJ and Theis for. . . An $80 million trade exception. Seems fair to me.
There’s no one we’re going to draft outside the top ten who is going to be as good as Wood will be at age 29 when the young guys are ready to win. Better get something good for him.
I get where you are going with that but I disagree. I don't think Wood gets much better than what he is now. And the attitude and leadership issues are real. Id love a fringe lotto pick for him.
I'm with you on this. His attitude sucks and you can't lead if you aren't willing to take on the biggest challenges and he runs from those like a little b!tch.
Today’s random Trade Grizzlies Melton & Ziarire Williams …for… Wood & FRP (top 5 protected) both fit with Green & Alpi
HOU - IND - PHI - SAC IND: Gordon (HOU) + Bagley (SAC) + I. Joe (PHI) + lowest of HOU's 2023 FRPs Indy shakes things up and strengthens its bench. They get $.90 on the $1 for Turner + future 1st round pick Gordon > Lamb Bagley < Turner Joe + 1st > Brissett SAC: Simmons (PHI) + Wood (HOU) + Theis (HOU) Sacramento commits to defense (Simmons, Theis) and attempts to make the playoffs this year. Wood gets all the shots he wants and could be Kangz primary scorer. Wood and Holmes swap roles on offense and defense. Simmons > Fox Wood > Hield Theis < Bagley+ FRPs PHI: Hield (SAC) + Lamb (IND) + Augustin (HOU) + SAC 2022 FRP (top 5 protected) + 2023 SAC FRP swap + SAC 2024 FRP (lottery protected) Sixers get most of their desired pick haul for Simmons. They also pick up more shooters to surround Embiid / Drummond. Augustin is veteran leadership in the backcourt (and deserves to be on a playoff contender). Hield + FRPs = Simmons Lamb > Reed Augustin > Joe HOU: Turner (IND) + Fox (SAC) + Brissett (IND) + Reed (PHI) I was a CWood supporter, but he has to go at this point. Turner would be an improvement & could be more of a focal point in Htown. Fox played HS ball in Htown and would make for an interesting backcourt mate with Thrilla + Scoot + Snipa. Brissett & Reed provide front-court depth. Fox allows Scoot to come off the bench; Scoot should earn back his starting position after his half-time, car-driving shenanigans. Turner > Wood + low 1st Fox = Gordon Brissett = Theis Reed < Augustin Fox - Scoot - Wall / Queen Green - Snipa - JayGup Mathews - Tate - Nwaba Sengun - Sprangz - Brissett Turner - Garuba - Reed
