Trade For Chris Boucher
With that said, defensive limitations have also impacted Wood’s career. He is not strong in that area. Still, his floor spacing was invaluable to the Dallas Mavericks this season.
That’s the main thing they will need to replace. Having a big man who can reliably shoot enhances Luka Doncic’s offensive abilities.
Why not Chris Boucher of the Toronto Raptors? He’s not as reliable of a shooter as Wood. Still, he has some defensive value – Boucher is an outstanding weak-side shot blocker.
