Dallas will send Boban Marjanovic, Marquese Chriss, Trey Burke and Sterling Brown to Houston, sources said, to create roster flexibility and add a productive big man.
The above video is from a January 3, 2022 report of a mid-game incident involving Christian Wood and Kevin Porter Jr.
Wood, 26, averaged 19.1 points and 9.9 rebounds in his two seasons with the Rockets. He is expected to earn $14.3 million for the 2022-23 season, the final year of his contract.
Upgrading at center was one of the Mavs’ main goals before the start of the offseason after their run to the Western Conference Finals.
The Rockets now have picks #3, 17, and 26 in the June 23 draft.
Rockets wanted Christian Wood to clear the playing time for Alperen Sengun and likely No. 3 overall, whether it’s Paolo Banchero or Chet Holmgren. They jumped at the chance to get a first-round pick (rather than a long-term salary) in the process.
