That way a training camp with Kidd could coach the guy to improve his defensive game and maybe make him a better player so that maybe we could get something decent back in trade at the TDL? A life coach to help him prioritize self improvement and mental development using various methods might make him a better person since word is he seems to need more focus on that part of his life to make him a more likable person.
Use him enough during the first half of the season to showcase him becoming a better player with a different usage pattern that makes him less exposed as a bad defender.
Basically hide his weakness and accentuate his positives so we can sell him for a nice ROI and take the best offer from the highest bidder at the TDL?
Look, I don’t fully understand what’s SO wrong with Wood (he must be a handful, behind the scenes, or something) but if nobody wanted him as an expiring at the deadline and nobody wants him now, as a FA, I struggle to imagine what kind of deal Dallas could give him that would make him an asset in the way you’re describing.
