Lakers Still Wanting To Sign Christian Wood
The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t done making big moves yet as they still have their eyes set on signing Mavericks’ player Christian Wood.
Anthony Davis got a huge contract, that helps them on both ends of the court. Los Angeles wants Wood so that their offense can get an even bigger push. Plus, they aren’t as concerned about his defensive liabilities due to his offensive capabilities.
The Lakers have two open roster spots and would like to fill their 14th spot ahead of training camp. Names such as Bismack Biyombo and Wood have been popping up since the beginning of summer.
As a side note, Wood would have to accept the veteran’s minimum. Why? Because that is the only thing Los Angeles can offer players at this point.
As an additional side note and reminder, the Dallas Mavericks have no intentions of keeping Wood. They’ve expressed to him that their relationship is over with Dallas looking to move on from the big man.
Despite being a bench player, Wood averaged 16.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. He averaged 26.0 minutes per game.
