Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) Here's all you need to Lynn Bowden Jr. Jersey know about the deal.NBA LEAGUE PASS: Mavericks receive:Christian WoodRockets receive:Boban Marjanovic, Sterling Brown, Trey Burke, Marquese Chri s, 2022 first-round pick (No. 26 overall)After a surprising postseason run that saw them make it to the Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks are looking to remain a major player in Larnel Coleman Jersey the West with the acquisition of Wood.The 26-year-old, 6-foot-11 big man averaged a double-double last season, with averages of 17.9 points and 10.1 rebounds in 30.8 minutes a game with the Rockets. Wood is a legitimate stretch four as he shot 39 percent from three on 4.9 attempts a game last season.With Wood reportedly on their roster, the Mavericks now have yet another 3-point threat that would fit perfectly with coach Jason Kidd's five-out offensive schemes, which has created space for Doncic to operate and create Luka magic.Defense, however, isn't Wood's strong suit as he isn't powerful enough to bang with centers down low and isn't quick enough to keep up with agile power forwards. Yet Kidd was able to whip Dallas into a top defensive team in his first season and perhaps being in a more accountable system will force Wood to make strides on the defensive end of the floor.Plus for the Mavericks, this reported trade helped to clear up room on their roster as they were able to offload non-rotational players and get a talented yet flawed player back in return.For the Rockets, according to ESPN's Tim Mark Clayton Jersey MacMahon, the reported deal allows Houston to give more playing time to rising forward Alperen Sengun and draft a potentially impactful big in Paolo Banchero or Chet Holmgren with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.Rockets were looking to move Christian Wood to clear playing time for Alperen Sengun and likely the No. 3 overall pick, whether thats Paolo Banchero or Chet Holmgren. They pounced on chance to acquire a first-round pick (and no long-term salary) in the proce s. Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) From a salary standpoint, Wood is on an expiring deal and all of the players the Mavericks traded to the Rockets are also on expiring deals. So e sentially, both teams were able to make a deal without having to add on any long Shaquem Griffin Jersey -term salaries. With the reported addition of Wood, Dallas could start a very formidable starting lineup and have significant depth on their bench. Of course, it remains to be seen if Dallas re-signs versatile combo guard Jalen Brunson but if they do retain his services, here's a look at potential starters and key players for the Mavericks next season:Luka DoncicReggie BullockDorian Finney-SmithChristian WoodDwight PowellSixth man: Jalen BrunsonKey reserves: Spencer Dinwiddie, Maxi Kleber, Tim Hardaway Jr.On paper, Wood may not seem to move the needle that much for the Mavericks. But with the continued superstar growth of Doncic, the sky's the limit for the Mavs Albert Wilson Jersey and Wood has the skillset that can help support the All-Star guard's game and at the same time, keep Dallas in the upper echelon of the Western Conference.
