2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[F Gump]

Wood continues to be a prime example of the stupidity of missing on talent upgrades because MBT is always chasing the big fish......

.....

Who knows if Wood could have been had  

These ongoing whines that the Mavs screwed up by not getting Wood are simply off base.

The price Houston paid was definitely not one the Mavs could have beaten, if they had wanted to. There were multiple moving pieces - trade assets, trade match, and salary for Wood - and the Mavs didn't have a real way to outbid Houston in any of it. So the criticism about they didn't get him, that's totally gratuitous.

'But the Mavs should have gotten him anyhow, and now they'd have a better roster by wanting him bad enough.' That's not how it works.
