I’m not worried about the money. I think he can be a 20-10 player and play excellent defense with either Robinson or Wiseman. He stood up to play with any star 4 in the East. Remember we paid 75 mm collectively to Randle portis gibson ellington morris

His defense isn’t great, but ok.

I just like his scoring potential and yeah he played up to his competition last year.

I do worry about the money if the NBA is going to be disrupted next season- 2 seasons of huge disruptions in a row is going to seriously shrink the cap- you don't want to be holding any substantial long term deals when that happens.

Christian Woods is prob the best unrestricted free agent. I’m assuming A Davis et al is not available
He’s another level than other guys. He’s possibly a true franchise player. You don’t avg30-10 for a month in the nba by accident. You don’t block Joel
Embiid 3x in a Game by accident. I don’t want second tier castoffs from the Nets. I’d like to pay what it takes to get this guy. This is on Dolan — can he see the forest through the trees 1/22 years?

I can’t dismiss the buzz around him regarding his attitude either- we seem to bring out the worst in people who come the team! He might thrive with a team with a good culture, can we really offer him that though?

The guy is 24 now— seems like he matured

With the China/Morey incident and the quarantine, we won't know the answer for a while. But my gut tells me no, Christian Wood probably isn't getting a one year, $22 mil. We're one of the few teams out there with the ability to easily open significant cap space. Unfortunately, Detroit is one of the others. With Blake fading out and with two years left, they might feel desperate. I guess we'll just have to play it by ear when the time comes.

On the flip side, the pistons have nothing on their roster, if we match their offer, I think wood might pick us. Do we want to match their offer though? I’m not sure. Briggs was right years ago when he was calling for us to take a chance on Hassan Whiteside (very similar scenario), he might be right now. I’d just like a bit more info about him first

Woods has had exactly 10-15 good games?
