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

[cow]

I am literally terrified of everything if Kidd is part of the Mavs future long term. Everything about him is rubbing me wrong lately.

I just can't imagine Cuban getting rid of him.  I think he's here for the long haul.  This is the Dirk years all over again, except front offices are a lot smarter these days.

This!

Regardless of where we individually fall on the "did the Mavs even have a chance to re-sign Brunson" argument, I sure hope the majority of us are seeing the negative effects of him leaving by now. 

When you're a playoff team, you simply can't get away with letting your 2nd best player walk for nothing. Like, you just can't let that happen.

I'm not sure there was a realistic situation to keep JB this past offseason even if they had money whipped him.  The damage had already been done.
