I am serious, he came here to play with Harden and then Harden bailed - so he got stuck in rebuilding mode when he is ready to enter the prime of his career..... I know it is popular to hammer on guys that don't want to be part of that, but you only have X amount of years in the league, I don't blame him for wanting to go somewhere else where he can really impact winning. This is a great trade for Christian Wood, there is a CLEAR leadership situation with Luka in Dallas and Wood can catch and shoot.....I think Luka may make him an all star player, and Wood will play harder for a winner, most players do. I am fine with him going - as he clearly didn't want to be here, I was just hoping we could package, him Ego and number 17 to move up not get a lower FRP which is sort of meh anyway. Essentially we traded a guy with 19-10 50%fg and 39% 3pt shooting for the 26th pick in this draft, and a bag of half eaten doritos.....though I do like Boban. I just think that Silas is a joke - and he should have set the tone more in the locker room......but no crying over spilled milk....let's see whom we get. And again, I think this is great for Wood, Meh for us. DD
EGo should have been gone out of here immediately after Harden trade with Tucker. I am still stunned at the idiocy of why that didn't all go down as well as rerouting Dipo to Knicks. Also, Jarrett Allen should have been here. That was a great asset to move at the deadline. I am still pissed that no effort was made to GSW when they were down on Wiggins to flip EGo/Tucker for him. Sure we have been rewarded with tanking but none of that had to do with excellent GM work with existing assets that really could have been a windfall for this team. No need to give Stone high fives for sucking. Anyone can do that.
I hope we keep Boban around. Need some new videos for the timeouts. Acapella with Capela is sorely missed. He is such a jolly dude, probably be good to have the guy around to push Sengun into becoming a man in practice.
If we are being honest Dallas obviously got the better of this trade, but I think it’s a good trade for both teams. Wood May not play defense, but folks are right when they call him an elite scorer for his size. He’s also an outstanding rebounder. I do think he’ll fit better in Dallas -he’ll play well. I also think he’ll have a better attitude on a winning team and there’s no doubt it’s Luka’s team. but I’m just glad we got what we could and are moving on with our rebuild. I expect #26 to be part of a deal that nets us a solid player or a good lotto pick.
