I know it's really early in the season and he had 5 fouls this game, but I'm wondering if we should just look to trade Wood by the deadline. It's clear that Kidd doesn't trust his defense which is why he goes with Maxi at the end of games. Wood might be able to command 20+ million a year this summer and there is no point in paying that much for a 25mpg bench player you can't trust at the end of games. We need to either commit to giving him 30+ mpg every night and treat him like our second star, or we need to move on before we lose him for nothing.
It is very early in the season, but Kidd is a defensive coach, that isn't going to change. He's going to demand defense and Wood is at best adequate when he's giving 100% effort and there is no telling if he'll keep the effort up once he's no longer in a contract year considering his history.
