MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

Is this speculation or reporting from Cato???

Wood off the bench? Props to @F Gump if true. I was absolutely incredulous at the idea.

Jason Kidd has declared that Spencer Dinwiddie and JaVale McGee will be starters, joining incumbent starters Dončić and Dorian Finney-Smith. I’ve been told the team’s planning to keep Reggie Bullock as the fifth starter. As things currently stand, the team’s splashiest acquisition this summer, Christian Wood, will come off the bench.

Makes zero sense to not start Wood. I can't imagine Wood would be happy about that either. I know Cato is citing his sources, but I just have a hard time believing the Mavs trade for Wood and not start him day 1 and move DFS to the 3.

Someone also asked in the comments: 
Is Wood coming off the bench an educated guess on your part? Or is it something you know as an insider?
And Cato replied just now saying:
I’ve been told this. I’m reporting it. Things can change but that’s the outlook as we stand now.
