My post was actually informed by that piece of info. Seems crazy he would get anything less than $12 million a year starting.
He’d play the “4“.He isnt a starter on any of those teams. Those teams shouldnt want to pay him that much money.
Is a team like Detroit/Charlotte really going to want to start him at the 5, especially when both teams have shots at drafting a Wiseman/Okangu?
Is he going to want to go to a bench role in Atlanta/NY/Phoenix? Because both teams have more talented starters already in place at the 5
Market is dry and not many teams need a 5.My post was actually informed by that piece of info. Seems crazy he would get anything less than $12 million a year starting.
Wood is a legit hybrid big and spent about half of his time at the 4 last year.I like the idea of Wood as a backup for the Jazz, but I just don't see him as a starter next to Gobert
Market is dry and not many teams need a 5.
If it was a normal market he might get 14 ish. No way in hell is anyone maxing Wood for 9 games of great stats play on a tanking team.Wood is a legit hybrid big and spent about half of his time at the 4 last year.
If the sample size were larger and the market wasn’t **** it would be a foregone conclusion that he gets a max deal. But that’s not the situation, and sample size matters.
I think the Jazz are basically at their ceiling unless they can find a player that provides what Wood did last year. That includes scenarios where they improve at other positions. We could really use the athleticism, size, and versatility, doubly so considering that we don’t know how the Gobert situation is going to play out.
That would hinge entirely on whether or not he’s on DL’s radar, and I think a guy whose growing popularity came out of nowhere and is pushed by non-insiders would be a huge turn-off for DL (think of Trump/Sanders’ appeal to establishment republicans/democrats [DL being the establishment here]). If he’s not on his radar, there’s no reasonable price low enough where his interest is piqued. We’re talking about pure tunnel vision here.If he goes for the MLE I want DL there begging him to pick us.
To be clear, I'd love to have him on the MLE. He isnt a starter on this team though, so I have no idea why he would come here.He'd start for a lot of those teams regardless of who they draft. Atlanta would be a no... but they also may move on from John Collins.
Wood is a 4/5 hybrid and I could see him being someone Phoenix plays alongside Ayton... NY has nothing he could absolutely play alongside whatever they have.
Charlotte is just as likely to take Ball or one of the wings... their frontcourt guys are trash. If you think Wood is a sparkle and fade guy then maybe these teams pass him up. I think he'd be one of the best gambles for any of those teams. If he goes for the MLE I want DL there begging him to pick us.
He’d start. Your daddy Conley would come off the bench.To be clear, I'd love to have him on the MLE. He isnt a starter on this team though, so I have no idea why he would come here.
It's not though. You would lose a ton of defense without Ingles or Royce starting. Who is guarding the star wings in that starting lineup?If Woods can play the 4 then he would start. He could slide over to the 5 when Rudy sits. Conley, DM, Bogey, Woods, Rudy. That is a nice starting 5. Do not know how the Jazz would be able to acquire him but he definitely makes us better and more athletic.
I’d tell him he could start. MLE is way too good of value on him to pass up.To be clear, I'd love to have him on the MLE. He isnt a starter on this team though, so I have no idea why he would come here.
Hey dude.It's not though. You would lose a ton of defense without Ingles or Royce starting. Who is guarding the star wings in that starting lineup?
If we got Wood I'd like to see him be a 25 mpg guy who is the primary backup 5 and plays in some lineups with Gobert.
He isn't a 4. He's a guy who needs to be put in pnr and pnps. With Rudy in the lineup he'd be either be on the perimeter or the dunkers spot
9 games?No way in hell is anyone maxing Wood for 9 games of great stats play on a tanking team.

9 games?
Wood played 62 games this season, and was solid all year. If you split his season into 3 periods that roughly follow his minutes increases, it's amazing how consistent he was on a per minute basis.
Per 36 minutes:

A few other relevant stats:
- BR has 47% of his minutes at PF and 53% at C
- 21.6% of his plays were spotups, where his 1.19 PPP put him in the 85.9th percentile (Bojan 1.11, Ingles 1.01, Mitchell 1.10, Conley 1.14, Royce 1.14, Clarkson 1.07)
- 19.7% of his plays were as a PnR roll man, where his 1.50 PPP put him in the 95.4th percentile (Rudy 1.22)
- Niang, Bradley, Davis, Green, Morgan and Brantley played a combined 2,672 minutes for the Jazz this past season, an average of 37.1 minutes per game
The Jazz need talent if they want to win. If they can get Wood at anything under $15 million without sacrificing much else, it's a no-brainer. Quin can figure out how to make the lineups work; there are minutes available.

If the backup is your 6th man and a starter quality player, then yeah, it's completely reasonable.
