Christian Wood traded to Dallas for the #26 pick

i'm not looking forward to those cwood revenge games tho

 

Thats what our hearts say. Silas racist against the Ottoman empire!

 

I wasn't as down on Wood as some of you guys. I guess it's good to get something for him while he's still under contract. But a late first and filler? I dunno... It's just meh.

 

I can see it now. The Mavs gonna play Warriors in the playoffs. Draymond gonna get in Woods head and he's gonna go crazy. Either quit or get ejected. Basically be rendered useless.

 

Absolutely. One of my least favorite Rockets ever. So selfish and pouty.

 

Division by divisiveness

 

So y'all mad we got a first round pick for Wood? TF did y'all want?

 

Once again can’t wait for the sorry package EG is going to get because they traded him so late too

 

We just converted his value into a draft pick. I’m pretty sure we are about to use that pick and other assets to net us a solid chip for our rebuild. I will judge this trade when I see what happens with the 26th pick but generally converting Wood to draft pick value just makes it easier for us to trade.

 

Good move we don't want Wood's lazy defensive habits forced on whichever big we pick at #3

 

That pick is worthless just like the bucks pick. Who cares

 

It’s fine. Guaranteed Mavs loss if Wood goes into selfish mode trying to take revenge.

 

Damn. I think we could get more in return.

 

Making room for Paolo. It's happening!!!

Still going to be hard watching us lose by 20 every night.

 

I'm just happy that Wood was flipped for a first-round pick.

 

We just jumped up 10 spots in def rating

 

We can question the return all day, but most of the posters in this forum were hoping we could use Wood and 17 to move up 4-5 spots and get Eason, Sochan, etc. This trade makes that a possibility. And even if they don't move up, you're getting another lottery ticket with the 26th pick, you're freeing up playing time for Banchero and Sengun, and you're moving on from a guy who didn't make your basketball team better and wasn't going to be a key part of the rebuild. I'm thrilled by the news. Huge step in the right direction!

 

why people and rockets gm hate wood so much?

 

i know, right? those are the same ppl who wanted to sign him to a max contract early in the season.

 

I'm just glad he's gone. So much for that extension....
