So with more time to reflect on this deal ..  I feel it was more salary dump for the financially hurting Fertida than anything ..

By all accounts... Simmons plus was on the table ... a young star under contract for several years.. what are the odds even ONE of the picks Houston acquired ends up as good as Simmons ...

So obviously you make the Philly deal if you’re Houston... UNLESS.. the owner orders the GM to take the deal with almost no future salary obligations ..

Hence taking the NETS deal ..  and then further ridding yourself of future salary by spinning off Allen and Levert for free agent to be Olidipo and a Cleveland pick (via bucks )

So now we’re going to see them trade Walls  contract for expiring contacts and maybe a garbage 2nd round pick (wall has actually looked pretty good) ...

Tucker is gone .. Gordon to follow ..  no way they resign olidipo

And they won’t sign squat in the off-season

So I’d argue .. might as well trade Wood .. he’s only on a three year deal .. you aren’t going to compete in that time frame .. and he is very valuable right now with how cheap he is
