The guy who really suffers from this deal is Christian Wood. There were a FEW scenarios where the Mavs would be OVER the APRON and a Sign and Trade of C-Wood would be the mechanism to accomplish that goal. The Sign and Trade of Williams completely takes that off the table.
I am thinking (not gonna look it up... not gonna do it) that the only way for Wood to maintain his Bird Rights would be to be involved in a potential deal involving Portland for Thybulle. Maybe, he could get in on the rumored Charlotte deal for PJ. The point is that Wood is looking a long hallway of shut doors and there does not seem to be an opening for him (at his preferred salary) anywhere to be found.
BTW if there was one team who does not seem to be shy about adding players other teams found difficult, it would be your Washington Wizards. Hoping the best for Wood, and hoping Dallas can get some more of this Nico-magic to produce the chicken salad out of sad sack of assets to help him get somewhere.
