The Mavs should be fine.
The saving grace for this season should be Wood. IF Wood keeps his head straight and actually works on his game, specially on the defensive end, his impact will be enormous. Sure that's a big IF, but it's not too far off from reality. Luka hasn't played with a big like Wood before. Dirk was on his last legs, and KP doesn't have the speed and agility of Wood. And unlike KP, Wood can actually punish smaller guys and he doesn't need someone to set him up to do so.
I do not underestimate what Wood can do. He'd be a difference maker.
Of course the ideal scenario would be to have JB around. But I'm optimistic a focused Christian Wood can help the Mavs win 50 games.
And as much as the Mavs say they still need a wing, I hope they get another ballhandling playmaker. If not Dragic, they just need another guard who can create for himself and others. Doesn't have to be a PG, just someone who can score on his own, go where he wants to, and pass decently.
