    All 4 players are expiring contracts.
    Personally, I'm happy because I don't want Wood.

    Damn you Cronin!!!


    In other news, that kinda implies that maybe the #7 pick shouldn't have to be traded for OG or Grant.

    Wow. If we could have gotten him for that cheap...I would have a little more hope for our offseason.

    Agreed. Wood actually has better stats than Grant and some aren't close.

    Good move for Dallas.

    A little surprised we didn't try to send out the Milwaukee pick or something for him. Pretty low cost.

    Woods has flaws, but if the cost is low I'm fine trying to get vets like that.

    Look at Wiggins, considered a bad contract and way overpaid, now on a new team, is in discussion as finals MVP.

    How about Bledsoe, our two 2nd round picks and Keon for Jerami Grant?

    IIRC, Wood is not known for his D. Grant is some version of 3 and D.
    Good deal for Dallas. Houston gets to tank. Portland needs more D not less.

    Maybe Grant improves a bit here, although I'd say odds are he doesn't, but who knows, maybe he does. Giving up the #7 directly or indirectly with trading down would be horrible.

    Giving up 2nd round picks and a scrub is great though. I highly doubt Detroit trades him without at least getting a FRP.

    Before this Wood trade I would have been surprised we give de #7 straight for Grant. Now I would shocked. It's not going to happen. Even for John Collins who has a longer contract and is younger (2x better value), #7 straight up is steep. JC + #16 for #7 could do it for me.

    Agreed....I'd even look at trading #7 to the Spurs for #9 + 20/25 and then moving #9 for J and #16.....if possible.

    If we could get JC, #16 and a pick in the 20s, that would go a long way to helping rebuild assets that Neil wasted. Use those two picks to possibly move back up, or trade for other pieces.

    When you get to a certain age, you don't miss Wood.

    Don’t you have to have had Wood to miss Wood?

    otherwise, how would you otherwise know you miss Wood?

    I'm glad its posted here in its own thread. Many of us don't weed through threads with thousands of posts.

    But you are posting in the Around the NBA thread?
    No worries. No issue with me? Was more wondering if it was the same player?
