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

[F Gump]

The explanation that makes the most sense is the one I have been putting forward for weeks:

Nico wanted Wood. Kidd did not.

Sorry, no, That makes NO sense to some of us. None at all. The fact that your own very contrived thesis makes sense to you doesn't mean it is what is really going on, or therefore OBJECTIVELY valid.

You can't have it both ways. You say that Kidd makes all the decisions -- yet when it fits your preferred narrative, you say he had no input and was ignored. So, you say, Kidd is pouting essentially and doing self-destructive things, which also makes no sense.

MUCH more likely is that there are many many many reasons that we just don't see or understand, that explain why Wood isn't playing as much as YOU think he should. Is he listening? Doing what coaches are asking? Working into team? Or, on a different level, is he invested in his craft -- or is he showing up late, hung over, sleepy, distracted? Is he coachable, or does he just go his own way? As has been pointed out by others, it is far more likely that MANY are involved in the minutes decisions you don't understand, and that the reasons are a well understood consensus within those circles (rather than just arbitrary whims by an off-the-rails coach who doesn't care.)
