Wood You Consider Spending Over the First Apron

[F Gump]

Do y'all think there is a SnT deal for Wood that would get us a 2nd round pick? Or no pick if McGee goes too?

But I would only be interested if the Mavs stay out of the tax. The repeater tax is nasty and we might as well avoid it as long as we can.

There is probably no scenario in which
(1) another team will compensate you for helping them, so
(2) you have to sign Wood for them (because it's a big enough salary where they can't do it on their own), and
(3) then you can fit it all under the tax.

So snt of Wood seems like a non-starter.

But in general, the Mavs do have some payroll room to work now. Their bigger issue is finding a path to the right players (probably looking for a defensive wing and a C) at the right price.
