The Dallas Mavericks don't appear to be interested in re-signing power forward Christian Wood this summer, but they reportedly are open to using him to recoup some assets.
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Dallas "has not ruled out participating in a sign-and-trade deal that lands Christian Wood with a new team if it is presented with such a scenario." Wood was recently linked to the Los Angeles Lakers, as The Athletic's Jovan Buha reported last week that they are in the market for another big man.
Stein outlined the potential hurdles the Mavs will face if they pursue a sign-and-trade for Wood, writing, "They are already hard-capped and only $9 million and change away from hitting the NBA's first luxury-tax apron, so it has been stressed to me that they would have to really like the player they receive in return to partake in such a deal."
