Houston Rockets Receive: F Josh Green, C Dwight Powell, 2025 First Round Pick
Dallas Mavericks Receive: C Christian Wood
The clear-cut focus of this NBA trade scenario would be Christian Wood being sent from the Houston Rockets and finding his way onto the Dallas Mavericks to play alongside Luka Doncic.
The Mavericks would send Josh Green as the focal point of their trade package to the Rockets. He was selected with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.
Along with Green, the Mavericks would move on from Dwight Powell, who has been a member of the organization since being traded midseason to Dallas during the 2014-15 season. The Mavs would also send a 2025 first-round pick as further incentive.
For the center market, usually there is not a lot of demand from teams around the league. It becomes all the more challenging to get back a strong return when there are alternative center options on the trade block to as there is with Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers.
