THE CRUCIFIX: Cato: Wood isn't thrilled w/ his role...Will depart in the summer

[KillerLeft]

Wood is not a starting center on a good team.  He just isn’t.

YET.

I submit that the first bit of coaching SHOULD BE teaching him where he's falling short of being worthy of that descriptor and motivating him to FOCUS his efforts in those areas. 

THAT would be "getting him paid" as Kidd claims so often is his goal with players. And, if successful, it would make this team 10x more dangerous than it is right now.

Bring Wood off the bench and make sure you're doing what you have to do to win games while you teach him this stuff? Sure, no need to sacrifice the team's goals for the sake of one newly acquired journeyman player.

Completely turn your back on any possibility of him playing the position that offers him a chance to be a high-paid starter and maybe even a star? That's nut-bar factor 9.
