3 Trade Packages To Send Warriors’ James Wiseman To Rockets

Christian Wood, Houston Rockets, NBA Trade Rumors — NBA Analysis Network

Charlotte Hornets Receive: C Christian Wood

Golden State Warriors Receive: C Mason Plumlee, 2022 First-Round Pick (No. 15 – CHA)

Houston Rockets Receive: C James Wiseman

This deal finds all three sides involved swapping big men. Each is landing a center that’s better suited to their current needs.

Mason Plumlee is a seasoned veteran. He’ll be more productive over the next season or two than Wiseman. With this deal, the Warriors improve their win-now outlook while also acquiring a first-round selection.

Meanwhile, the Hornets get a big man more suited for starting duties. Wood may not do their defense any favors, but alongside LaMelo Ball, his ability to both roll and pop out of the pick-and-roll should lead to explosive offense. For a Hornets team vying to enter the postseason, that ought to suffice.

We anticipate that Warriors fans will not love these proposals. That’s understandable. Selecting a player with the second overall pick only to trade him for pennies-on-the-dollar is never ideal.
