Beijing time on November 11, the NBA regular season continued, the Rockets lost to the Pistons 104-112 at home, suffered 9 consecutive losses, the current record of 1 win and 10 losses, ranking second to the bottom in the West, Wood played 37 minutes in this game, got 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, the performance was acceptable. In stark contrast to the Rockets, the Warriors, who today won 123-110 at home to bring in a six-game winning streak and are currently at the top of the league with a record of 10 wins and 1 loss. Recently, a transaction rumor about these two teams has attracted widespread attention, according to the US media "hoopshabit", the Warriors and rockets are discussing a 3-for-1 deal plan, which involves Wood, Wiseman and the first round draft picks, the specific deal plan is: The Warriors sent Wiseman + Moody + 2023 first round signing to get the Rockets Wood.
The Warriors gained a significant increase in wood's attacking power from the inner line, making up for the team's weakest link
This deal will make up for the weakest link in the team for the Warriors. Although Wiseman and Moody have talent and high training value, the team may not be able to wait for them to grow, Curry is 33 years old this year, how long his peak period is unknown, the Warriors will use Curry's peak state to get more championships as soon as possible. This season, the Warriors mainly play unlimited changes of defense, which to a certain extent masks the weakness of the team's internal strength, but it is really going to be the moment when the playoff bayonet is red, a short board will be desperately targeted by the opposing team, so the Warriors must strengthen the internal strength if they want to go to the end. With a height of 2.06 meters, an arm span of 2.22 meters, and a weight of 97 kilograms, Wood has averaged 17.7 points, 11.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this season, shooting 38.6% from three points. In addition, Wood has a two-year, $28 million value contract left, and he is one of the few cost-effective players in the league today.
Wood's trade was maximized, with the Rockets getting 2 potential rookies and 1 first-round pick
For the Rockets, if the team can get 2 potential rookies and 1 first-round pick in the Wood deal, I believe general manager Stone is very willing to see. Wiseman, 20 years old, 2.13 meters tall, weighs 109 kilograms, he is last season's debut, averaging 21 minutes per game, contributing 11.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists, this season he has not appeared because of a knee injury, according to US media, he will return to the field at the end of November. Wiseman has a high cultivation value, his physical talent, bounce, speed, agility are outstanding among the center players, the only deficiency is the ability to fight a little worse, which can be strengthened by future games and training. In addition, Moody is the first round of the season's No. 14 rookie, 19 years old, is a guard player, with a certain projection ability, has now been sent by the Warriors to the development of the league to exercise, the Rockets after getting Wiseman and Moody, the average age of the team will be younger, the players are more active on the court.
Overall, if the deal is reached, it will be a win-win deal for both teams, the Warriors have made up for the shortcomings of the interior after getting Wood, the Rockets have also got potential rookies and first-round picks, and the value of Wood's deal has been maximized.
