First of all, I totally agree that Kleber being unavailable has caused major problems on multiple fronts for the Mavs, recently. 

Second…thought a lot about your point above, and I guess I’m just to the point where I don’t even care what’s working best right now. All I know is that when Wood and Luka are out there together, the team can SCORE. The offense actually seems dangerous for those stretches in most nights. They simply MUST lean into that, because, in my opinion, there kind of is no other option. My opinion has been, is, and will continue to be that they should give that tandem a shot and hope that either their defense improves or that they can find the right type of players to fill in the gaps and cover for them. 

Wood is special on offense when matched up with a big and not a forward, imho.

I am at the same point. I don’t agree with a lot of criticism on this board at this point about Kidd or about how different combinations can be a magic pill. This roster has a lot of holes. However if we are going to be bad anyway might as well score more. Plus no more Luka, DFS and RB together. Put some more versatility around Luka. Josh Green or FN even though again it most likely won’t make much difference in the long run in the w/l column.
