I think Collins is more likely to get court time as a single big due to defensive decision making.
I think Collins is more mobile than Wood and is a much better defensive PF.
I think the Collins/Maxi fit is maybe even better than Wood/Maxi fit.
I'm not a huge fan of Collins/Powell, but he has played most of his minutes with another big clogging the paint, so we can probably survive at least some minutes there.
I don't see Wood sticking and this team needs talent, so I am willing to take on Collin's contract rather than nothing.
Yeah, I'm leaning the same way on most of these thoughts. I just think it's worth a little thought. At the end of the day I suppose every deal comes with some risk.

Thinking long-term for mark, Dallas would drop more than 20 million from payroll by letting Wood and Powell walk at the end of the year.
But I would think the Mavs could first use Wood to make a 2nd move that balances out the roster...
Ok, but what if Holmes isn't playing because he sucks? I honestly think that might be the case.
And, call me crazy, but I'm pretty much to the point where I hope Powell is back next year. If they can successfully move him to the bench, great, but he's a winning player, imho. I bet he takes a slight haircut on the next deal (but you never know).
