The latest NBA news, the Mavericks and the Rockets agreed to a deal. The Rockets sent power forward Christian Wood to the Mavericks in exchange for the Mavericks’ No. 26 pick in the first round of this year + four role players Boban Marjanovic, Marquese Chris, Trey Birke, Sterling Brown.
The Mavericks used four second-line backup players who were not on the “rotation list” bench to replace the starting rank leader Christian Wood.
Among the four Mavericks, only small forward Sterling Brown has occasional space to play on the bench, and the other three are sitting on the bench to catch a cold, which has little effect on the Mavericks’ strength and employment.
Christian Wood is 206 cm, has three-point ability, and has a variety of offensive skills. Last season, he averaged 17.9 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. He shot 50% from the field and 39% from three. He still has an annual salary of $14 million in the last year.
The Mavericks now have three big men, 208 cm Dwight Powell, Maxi Kleber, and 206 cm Christian Wood. The three have different functions, play styles, and golf expertise.
Dwight Powell is a pure defensive drudge and rebounder with no offense or shooting. Maxi Kleber is a space man, good at 3-point jumpers, and doesn’t have the ability to post up and back the frame. Christian Wood has 3-pointers, can score, and has a variety of offensive skills. He will become the Mavericks’ first long-term player, and of course, Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber will have at least one of them without the ball.
More importantly, the playing time and space of Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber will be greatly compressed. Christian Wood will play at least 32-35 minutes per game, and the playing time and tactical space in the playoffs will be more. The system of “one big and four small”, how to rotate the three big men of the Mavericks, combining the maximum combat power and offensive and defensive efficiency, tests the coaching ability of the Mavericks coach Jason Kidd.
Employing personnel, positioning, trust, more emphasis on tactics, strategy, functionality and running-in, more emphasis on the ball, playing time, the Mavericks’ book combat power, talent, and core have been greatly improved, and the combat power and combination have been doubled. But in the end, it still needs actual combat and record to prove the success or failure of this deal, as well as Jason Kidd’s real coaching skills.
Christian Wood’s offensive and defensive weapons, good skills, and ball play style are very suitable for the Mavericks. He can open up space and make the Mavericks’ “5 out Motion” play more aggressive and varied. He can also score in pick-and-roll and restricted areas. Will be the most effective helper of Mavericks ace Luka Doncic.
The Mavericks’ internal specifications have been improved, the depth of employment has been improved, and the tactical play is more flexible. Luka Doncic has also been assisted by the best deputy and the leader. Niu this summer is like hitting a home run, and the power and momentum shocked the league.
Christian Wood can bring three important improvements and changes to the Mavericks:
1. The second stable attack point: In addition to Luka Doncic, Christian Wood’s pick-and-roll, three-pointer and mid-way response will become the second attack point and choice for the Mavericks, and the first offensive support in the interior. The Mavericks play style, system and tactics The design can be adjusted and improved to the maximum.
2. Let Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber focus on acting as substitutes: This is the most important source of the Mavericks’ combat power. Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber were originally substitute role players, and it is difficult for the Mavericks to use these two elders as trump cards.
Compared with scoring skills, ability and functionality, the factors affecting the game, Christian Wood’s specifications and effects are definitely greater than Dwight Powell and Maxi Klebe.
3. More changes and aggression in 5 out tactics: With 206 cm Christian Wood, the Mavericks have more changes and flexibility in offensive personnel configuration and tactical design, and the height of the inside line will also be improved to the greatest extent, but it will not affect the speed. The Mavericks will be more aggressive in their offensive firepower, outside restraint, mid-line inside line, and bottom-line coping style.
More varied and aggressive, this is the most important trade and change for the Mavs to liberate Luka Doncic. The Mavericks have a chance to usher in the spring, but ultimately depends on Jason Kidd’s coaching skills and performance. Actual combat, record, and data can prove tenacity and team strength.
The Mavericks’ new season game is worth looking forward to.
