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

[mvossman]

Well, "we" aren't praising them for that trade. "We" are on record trashing that trade with a vengeance. 

But, you say "Sabonis is clearly a center," yet IND tried to play him with Turner for years. YEARS. It took Carlisle landing there for them to admit one of them had to go, finally. 

And, think what you want, but I can 100% promise you that people here would be calling Sabonis a PF if he played here. They said it with Porzingis, now they're saying it with Wood. I agree that he's "clearly a center." Wood, too, is clearly a center. Maybe not a good enough one, but a center.

Indy didn't have a choice because Sabonis and Turner were two of their best players.  No question they needed to move one of them long before they finally did (but can't complain about the return they finally got).

As good as Sabonis is offensively, I am skeptical a team can win a championship with somebody like him or Vuc or Kat anchoring the team.  Feel the same about Wood.
