RE: Wood not Starting
I do not think this is something to be anxious about. CW's value is not high right now, he needs to demonstrate that he will bring the effort and teamwork and chemistry. As Nico said, the Mavs offer him a GREAT opportunity for playing time, for winning, for stats, and for building his value. And he also offers the Mavs a lot if he brings his "A" game. I like that the Mavs are going to ask him to earn his spot. If he is the kind of guy who will pout over something like that then you do NOT want him on the team moving forward anyway. Team first culture is something the Mavs are going to value above all else with Luka as the superstar. You cannot have anyone else on the team trying to put themselves ahead of the greater good.
