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

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

Seems like Kidd prefers a system that requires very specific players. The only player in two years that Mavs got that fit that system was Bullock. Irving doesn't fit, Wood didn't, McGee didn't. No visible change in the system based on what players they have. Just play same old thing he played in BKN and Milwaukee. Which btw, didn't work in both places before. But hey, lets try it one more year.

A smart franchise would play to the strength of the players they got. Get most out of them. Especially in a disastrous year, where they lost Brunson for nothing and didn't bring anyone to replace him. Feature Wood, pump his stats, claim how special he is and then trade him. I mean, it couldn't be any worse, really. Results couldn't be worse and it is possible they would be able to trade him. But no, Mavs made fools of themselves that McGee is a starter, which failed miserably in less than 10 games.

Lemme see what's in here...

A coach who really doesn't know how to.
A GM who has no idea what he is doing.
And an owner who thinks he has it all figured out, sees the coach isn't a problem and wouldn't let the GM do actual work.

All 3 of 'em are severely limiting what is already a Mavs team full of limitations.
I'm hoping all of ém are gone, but I'd settle for kicking out the coach.

AND I KNOW EVENTUALLY THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. Maybe it would take 40 games, maybe it takes a full season, but Kidd would eventually be kicked. Mavs would just be wasting time with him.
