Assume we know we could retain either one. Who would you rather have? My guess is your answer is Wood. I'm not completely sure what mine would be. I wonder who others would choose?
Turner is a better player, as long as we're living in a world where a significant percentage of what's intriguing about Wood is "potential". Now, if/when Wood gains some level of consistency, it becomes a real conversation.
I probably do it, depending on what the added salary is, but would stop short of adding one of those two young players or a 1st.
The big problem, imo, is that Turner is kind of an eccentric dude and seems interested (to me) in playing for a big market. I can't really provide evidence to support this, but if it comes down to "which one can the Mavs lock in, financially", and it should, then I really think Wood is the guy from that angle.
