A PF/SF combo would be fine...a SG/SF combo would fe fine...but tbh, they kind of do need another ball-handling guard, too, so any of those options are in play.
If THJ goes out, they need TWO of them.
If Wood goes out, they ALSO need a big.
It's not the easiest spot from which to make a deal, imho, though there are lots of options out there.
It was eye-opening to me last night that in spite of having Irving, Green, Hardy, Bullock, and THJ play fairly big minutes, Wright and Pinson also played. That's with Luka as the only "small" who wasn't available. It's analogous to McGee playing and Maxi being out. Your THJ and Wood points are on the money. Where we differ is with regard to Wood's role. I think we need a starting big whether he is traded or not, and if he is traded, we need a giant wing as well as that starting big. The "small" doesn't bother me much in that Wall or Dragic won't both go to Phoenix, will they?
