The idea that Wood is an all-star, except the Mavs are sabotaging him, is incredibly laughable. C'mon guys, is that the best you can do?
When it comes to player development, Kidd has the skins on the wall, with an incredible track record of knowing what it takes to turn coal into diamonds. He did it with both Giannis and Middleton in MIL and set that franchise on its way to the top. Brunson went from "can't use him in the playoffs" to being a key starter and $100M player in just one season under Kidd.
From all accounts, Kidd has incredible insight in helping players see the game, and in how to be better. If he thinks Wood needs some more molding in certain areas before being entrusted with a starting job, or that Wood will be better off if someone else bangs with the bigger centers before he is brought in the game, I bet he's right.
