He might be good in LA just because he might want to not tick off Bron, but as I said last year, this is a guy who has talent and a lot of teams have given him a chance and yet none ever wanted to commit long term with him. The only regret is losing a FRP for him but that’s a gamble I would have taken anyday.
That's completely not true. He wasn't an NBA starter-level player until his full year in DET. They signed Grant. HOU signed him for 3 years. HOU traded him for a FRP.
This was the only failed stop for Wood (as an NBA starter-level player). He's going to ball out in LAL. Wood/AD is an amazing combo.

He's hurt a lot but when he plays, he's one of the best defensive players in the world. His contract is amazing. He's certainly worth the risk of the 2027 1st. Portland says they plan to keep him but I don't believe that. He's a winning player and that team will be tanking for a couple of seasons.
I think they'll trade him but I think he's worth more than our 2027 1st.
Had they not matched Thybulle, J.Green would be appealing to them. I just don't know what we have that they'd want, other than the 27FRP.
