That´s a future move, I´d consider, if we had done the Westbrook + two firsts tank/cap cleaning deal. With our construct being win now, that´s too much of an upgrade for one of our main competitors. I´d need Wiseman + Kuminga to start thinking.
Here is a trade I like for Wood:
Step 1:
Markieff Morris for Jaden McDaniels, since Morris can only be traded by himself.
Step 2:
Gordon Hayward and Mason Plumlee for Christian Wood, Dwight Powell, JaVale McGee and Theo Pinson
This is a massive immediate cap relief trade for the Hornets, everything expires, except they have to eat Joel.
Step 3:
Isaac for THJ, since I don´t think the Magic would actually do Harris/Bamba for THJ, but they might do Isaac straight up.
or
Crowder/Saric for THJ, when the Suns come to their senses regarding the value off DNWPFY (do not wanna play for you) Crowder.
New Mavs
Doncic/Hardy/Ntilikina
Irving/Bullock/Lawson
Green/Hayward/Crowder
McDaniels/Kleber/Bertans
Plumlee/Saric/X
Then I´d rely heavily on the buyout market for another 2-3 ring chasers as injury insurance. Maybe Reddish and another PG/C.
