Mavs are on trade talks to trade wood to clippers, and covington is a nice piece, as he ws once on an all defensive team, and can help us on 3&D. Clippers want to improve their frontcourt, and covington isnt playing much, wood can be their solution.

Covington contract may not seem to be the best, and clippers may want to get off of his contract to free some cap space on the summer, so they would have to send a 2nd to dallas imo.

Dallas doesnt seem to be interested in signing wood to a more than 2 yr deal, and dont seem to like the fit of wood starting, and it make sense, cause if you hace luka+kyrie, you dont need another scorer that finds it hard to defend in the perimeter. So covington would be the answer, you can even go small ball with him and play him at the 5,
