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

[Kammrath]

Is this a bit, or do you think Kidd is intentionally tanking Wood's value?

MacMahon reported that Kidd has been trying to "break" Wood so that he does not think of himself as a "star." I think Kidd has broken him. He has lost his confidence and swagger for the most part and looks scared and hesitant on the floor. Wood looks like his soul has been swallowed and it has absolutely hurt his play on both ends. 

Maybe Kidd is right and this is the best long term thing to do. But I fundamentally disagree with how Kidd has handled Wood. The Mavs desperately need confidence, swagger, and "star" like thinking alongside Luka. And he took the one guy with that on the team and is crushing it out of him.
