Most of the immediate reaction to the Rockets sending Christian Wood to the Mavericks was surprise at Wood’s relatively low value, resulting a general sense that the Mavericks got a steal.
Forward Marquese Chriss underwent surgery on his knee on Wednesday, the same day on which the Mavericks agreed to trade him to the Rockets, as relayed by Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
The 26-year-old Wood is a very solid return for Dallas, even if he comes with some character concerns. The talented big man averaged 19.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 block in 109 games for Houston.
