Tim MacMahon: Rockets were looking to move Christian Wood to clear playing time for Alperen Sengun and likely the No. 3 overall pick, whether that’s Paolo Banchero or Chet Holmgren. They pounced on chance to acquire a first-round pick (and no long-term salary) in the process.

I like Christian Wood a lot.
Dallas traded four non-rotation players to get him and #26.
So, basically #26.
Even if Wood isn’t perfect, that’s a great deal for the Mavs. – 9:40 PM

Suffice it to say that it was a non-secret around the NBA in recent days that Dallas had no intention of using the 26th pick. Had been speculated as an international stash if they kept it. Christian Wood is an interesting fit, and this saves a little salary tied to the pick. – 9:35 PM

Dallas is a good situation for Christian Wood. Really good, veteran team that has been together for awhile. Very similar to the Rockets team he signed with, and he was excellent before that team was torn down – 9:28 PM

Although Christian Wood is entering the final season of his contract, he will be extension eligible before it expires, so there’s no reason to assume this is a first for a rental. If he delivers around the basket on both ends and sticks around, it’s an easy deal. – 9:20 PM

Always misleading to extrapolate stats when playing on a 20-win team, but Christian Wood averaged 17.9 points and 10.1 rebounds last season. Most surprising, he shot 336 3-pointers and made 39% of them. So it’s not at all a given that he’ll adversely affect Dallas’ spacing. – 9:20 PM

Source confirms Mavs will trade the No. 26 pick, Boban Marjanovic, Trey Burke, Sterling Brown and Marquese Chriss to the Rockets for center Christian Wood.
Trade will officially convey on draft night.

Thought the Mavericks should have made a run at Christian Wood in the summer of ’20, but getting 26-year-old Wood now for the No. 26 pick and 4 seldom-used players is a home run by Nico Harrison, filling Dallas’ biggest offseason need. – 9:13 PM

Think underlying subtext of the Wood trade is that there’s clarity as to what the market is for late first-rounders in this draft.
The Rockets obviously had been trying to move Wood, but other front offices can say, “The 26th pick got Dallas Christian Wood, we want at least X.” – 9:11 PM

That was the package for Christian Wood?
Heat could’ve put together a better package, which probably means the focus is elsewhere at the moment with their assets

The Media Guide quotable for Chet Holmgren is from Paolo Banchero “He’s a game changer on defense. I had a couple of layups that against anyone else, I would score or it’d be a dunk, but because Chet was down there, I wasn’t able to finish.” – 2:20 PM
