The Dallas Mavericks secured a trade deal for Christian Wood from Houston Rockets, and the Lakers legend is excited about it.
The Dallas Mavericks sealed a huge pickup of Christian Wood via trade from the Houston Rockets. Wood is the type of player that the Mavs needed, and fair to say it didn’t cost much for them.
According to Shams Charania, The Dallas Mavericks sent Boban Marjanovic, Sterling Brown, Trey Burke, Marquese Chriss, and the No. 26 pick to the Rockets for Christian Wood.
NBA Legend Magic Johnson reacted to the Wood deal, and he was ecstatic about it. He said, “The Dallas Mavericks are getting an athletic big man in Christian Wood who can score, rebound, and block shots; just what the Mavericks needed. Watch out for Dallas next season!”
This certainly is a great move by the Dallas Mavericks. They were able to reach the WCF this season without having a good center. With the inclusion of Wood, they have become quite better on both offense and defense.
The pairing of Luka Doncic alongside Christian Wood can certainly turn out to be a very explosive duo. Doncic now has an elite PNR partner, and he can feast Wood with multiple lobs throughout the season.
Everyone around the world was excited about this huge pickup by the Mavs. NBA Fans went on to Twitter and reacted to Wood joining the Dallas Mavericks. Fair to say the majority of the people think that it is a good deal by the Mavs.
