The Wood case was just another level of Mavs failure. They didn't believe in the guy posting up good box score stats from day 1 and this is coming to a very predictable end. He was obviously the most talented center they had, yet they had to be smart with McGee who proved a complete failure after only a couple of games. Options Mavs had:
Option A: start Wood and play him a lot. Pump his stats, speak good about him and even if he is not a good long term fit, at least try to build his value in an attempt to use his expiring contract at TDL.
Instead Mavs chose option B: play mind games in an attempt to change him. As a result Mavs message to everyone was that they themselves don't think he has much value, predictably not attracting any value at TDL. 

It is totally possible option A would bring the same result we have now. But I see options it could bring a better result and no option it would bring a worse one. Congratulations on another wasted FRP.
