I was wondering if Wood could be included instead of Maxi? He would be a small part of that trade but maybe more upside than what Maxi brings. And Dallas has no interest in bringing back Wood so it wouldn't matter to them either.
Wood could possibly be useful in a S&T, but not one that includes the pick. The pick would have to be made on behalf of Phoenix without the certainty of Wood agreeing to the plan. I don’t think we’d make such a valuable pick for someone else without knowing we can control all elements of the deal.
