The Rockets trade Christian Wood to Dallas for a higher draft spot.
Most NBA fans are locked into the Finals with the back and forth between Golden State and Boston. In Houston, fans are a bit more focused on the NBA Draft, which is just a week away. And, on Monday, the Rockets added to that draft night excitement by sending forward/center Christian Wood to Dallas for the 26th pick in the first round and a passel of players to match Wood's salary.
From the outside, this may feel like a giveaway. While Boban Marjanovic might be a fan favorite and Sterling Brown, Marquese Chriss and Trey Burke are all decent role players, this was clearly about the 26th pick in the draft. The Rockets now own picks 3, 17 and 26 and many have speculated that they would like to move up, perhaps even into the draft lottery to take an additional player. Combining 26 and 17 might allow them to do that.Wood's was a complicated situation.
