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

[BigDirk41]

Looking at the last couple of seasons per 36, Wood is roughly 22 and 11 on TS over 60%.  Portis is 19 and 12 on TS in the upper 50s.  Wood also averages a block and assist (and turnover) more than Portis and he is a better creator.  Its a good comp, but Wood is clearly the better player.

Also Portis signed that contract to keep contending for more championships. Mavs haven't earned that right yet. Portis would have commanded more money on the open market.
