We have a lot of money caught up in players that arent very good, imo.
I understand that Wood is older and you supposedly cant teach an old dog new tricks...I also understand that Wood has bounced around for known reasons...
But...Mavs being a competitive team...Wood has never played on a winning team before...is it not worth investing time and money in Wood to see if we can sort his defense out a bit?
Seems like we paid other players that are one dimensional. Also seems like Wood at least tries on defense...even if he mentally doesnt get it...shouldnt we invest time to see if he can turn a corner? Maybe the rumors about him and what Mavs are witnessing in practice and games lead them to believe he will never be mental enough to grasp the game on defense and maybe even offense...but I am reluctant to let him walk or trade him. I dont have the info needed to make a good decision on it though.
