Pretty quick you get to the McGee/Morris/Bertans/Holiday types (maybe this is why Morris is so confident of his return). I don't see Wood starting (heck, I don't see him returning at all), but his ability to fill a pretty gaping hole did cross my mind. Of course, he'd have to accept the role I thought he was good for all along (bigger version of Lou Williams). There is definitely a hole to be filled if Maxi and THJ move on and Wood would probably be better than what you get with the TP MLE.
Welcome to the darkside.
Could you scheme enough defense to make a Luka, Kyrie, Green, Wood, Ayton lineup work?
I still like a Kyrie for Jrue trade. Luka, Jrue, Green, Wood, Ayton is ideal. Kyrie for Jrue and Allen.
Point - Luka, Hardy
Guard - Jrue, Allen
Guard - Green, Bullock
Forward - Wood, Morris
Center - Ayton, Powell
