Nope never did on purpose, nor would I. (And imo never did accidentally either.)

My point is still the same. Wood hasn't been good enough. Unlike you, I don't think I know better than they do about how to develop player skills in the most effective, efficient way. I think the Mavs HAVE been doing everything possible to make Wood useful and that it's a process, in various venues and diverse methods, and not a simple matter of blindly dumping him on the court and whatever happens happens. If it was that simple, his flaws would have been erased long ago, rather than team after team fail and give up.

But with this nonsense of you thinking you can read my mind to create nefarious intent, and the way you keep twisting what I say into something else to try to make some point or other, and the way you say one thing in one post and the opposite in another, count me out.

PS - If your gratuitous note about Tyson Chandler was meant to be relevant, to me it wasn't. I thought he was a great pickup and an ideal running mate for Dirk. You aren't being informative when you say you liked him, because we all did, and as DS says, it's just victim schtick. And what the Mavs did 12 years ago has little relevance to our conversation.

Well, tbh, your characterization of my points as (paraphrasing by memory, sorry) "suggesting that he'll magically be able to defend by changing the context" was wildly offensive to me, and not remotely close to what I've been saying. Truly, nowhere near correct. 

If you didn't do it on purpose, fine, and I'm certainly not meaning to perform some sort of "victim schtick" (honestly), but I admit that one pissed me off.
