According to what the specialized site The Athletic reported, the “Mavs” would have sent players Boban Marjanovic, Sterling Brown, Trey Burke and Marquese Chriss in return. They would also have given up their first-round pick in the next draft (26th).

Last year, Wood averaged 17.9 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. Only nine other players in the circuit can boast of having amassed at least 17 points and 10 rebounds per game.

The 26-year-old Californian will serve out the final season of a three-year, $41 million deal he signed with the Rockets.

All players acquired by the Rockets played less than 50 games with the "Mavs" last season. Burke is a former first-round pick, the ninth player picked in the 2013 auction, but never made it to full-time in the NBA.
