I speculate that Wood was Nico driven simply because of how Kidd has responded. But that is total speculation. You are 100% accurate that it COULD be that Kidd wanted Wood and then immediately changed his mind.
I just think the overall evidence is that Nico is NOT imposing his will in anyway on the roster. It seems like Kidd and Cuban are more likely to be the real power at work. And I personally think Kidd has a TON. That has been my working theory since early in the season.
I'm not sure why you think Kidd has a "TON" of influence. The guys he supposedly had input into are all small contracts. By far the two biggest decisions made were letting Brunson walk and the Wood trade and there is no indication he had any significant input on either.
