If you can get Hart for Wood, it should not be too difficult to extend this to Nurkic/Hart for Wood/Powell. Most people assume Hart is the sweetener to get rid of Nurkic anyway. I personally do not get it at all, what Portland is trying to accomplish. Lillard/Hart are +10.0 on/off. That backcourt works perfectly for the Blazers. Grant/Nurkic/Simmons are barely positive on/off. It´s their bench that is killing them. So to me trading Hart (and Nurkic) is like saying: it´s over.
