"Mav's HQ is ecstatic they are getting a player on a one year flyer to see if he will play the D he needs to play to stick"
"They weren't going to draft a better player than Christian Wood with the 26th pick"
"Mav's have a high level of confidence because Sean Sweeny has coached him in Detroit"

I´m so tried of that 2nd line. It´s like saying you take the 28 year old that runs the 100 metres in 10.3 over the 12 year old Usain Bolt who runs it in 10.4.

This lazy garbage is so annoying.

At the same stage of his career Christian Wood was undrafted. Of course the player won´t be better now. Of course none of these journalists come back, when some players drafted 26th pick or lower become the next Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jokic, Rudy Gobert or Draymond Green in 2-3 years and for the next decade forward, too.

Maybe instead of re-signing Jalen Brunson this summer, we just offer Victor Oladipo the TP-MLE. Much cheaper and better player, too. Afterall in 2018 Victor Oladipo was an All-Star and Jalen Brunson was a 34th pick. This how this works, right?

 You wonder why all these other dumb franchises like Golden State even make these late draft picks. Guess they haven´t studied the new CBA like Cuban.

Though it is good that Sweeney has some inside knowledge on Wood. At least I trust him more than the Mavs FO leftovers from the Wood SummerLeague stint.
