If there’s a way to turn Wood into Collins you gotta do it I’d argue. Wood is a goner at this point Imo. But they absolutely can not afford to let him walk next summer.

If the argument is you should turn Wood into Collins because Wood is gone, and not because it helps make the Mavs better, then we may as well trade Luka at this point. Collins is a clear downgrade on Wood right now. It's the Mavs job to put their best players, not only in a position to succeed, but a position to want to stay. We actually used to have that a decade back. If we not only can't do that, but are actively sabotaging our ability to do it, we are a complete lost cause. I'm still thinking it's early in the season, and we aren't that incompetent, and the stuff with Wood will turn around and we will resign him. Probably naive, I know.
