Dallas Mavericks Receive: C Christian Wood
Houston Rockets Receive: C Dwight Powell, F Maxi Kleber, F Josh Green, 2027 First-Round Pick
The centerpiece of this trade would be Wood going back to Dallas. Pairing his ability down low with Doncic could give the Mavericks the necessary balance on both ends of the floor.
Dwight Powell would lead the return going back to Houston. He is in the second year of a three-year deal he signed with the Mavericks.
At 30 years old, Powell might not be a future piece in Houston but he is an easy player to flip in another deal. Maxi Kleber has appeared in trade rumors as well. He would be thrown in, along with some draft capital.
The Mavericks would like to hang onto Green, who was their first-round pick in 2020. This means they might have to add some more draft picks. This comes down to how the front office wants to handle this situation.
