And they're still gonna need someone who can rebound and score in the P&R as well.
In theory, this entire team is now a vehicle for Luka and Kyrie to take turns creating out of iso. Some won't like that - I don't love it - but offense, in theory, is covered now. The immediate problem is absolutely defense. Wood, while not the BAD defender some claim, is certainly not a GREAT defender.
Plus, assuming, as they must be, that they're about to pay through the nose for Irving, the idea of giving wood a big 4-year deal probably isn't all that enticing.
