Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
Here’s another tricky thing about a player in a contract year: sometimes, they’re playing for their contract.
That could be the case for Wood this season. He’s certainly been defending with more effort than we’ve come to expect. Could he revert to his old ways once he signs his name on the dotted line?
Perhaps. It doesn’t matter very much from the Warriors’ point of view. This is a win-now move that’s designed to help them defend the NBA championship.
From that perspective, it makes a lot of sense. Wood is certainly more prepared to help a title run than James Wiseman.

Even if he’s a rental for Golden State, he’ll be worth the cost if he’s a key contributor to another title run.
Should the Spurs really target a player as raw as Wiseman?
