ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[DanSchwartzgan]

With McGee or Powell on the floor you are locked into playing P&R with them (they can't do anything else) and relegating Wood to the perimeter.  I would greatly prefer for most of Woods minutes on the floor to be played without one of those guys for that offensive versatility.  That is why I like the Maxi/Wood pairing, because Maxi unlocks Wood's offensive versatility and helps to cover up some of his defensive issues.

I think the majority of Wood’s minutes will be with Maxi or DFS rather than McGee or Powell.  Also, I think there is a ton that can be done offensively with the new starting five.  Yeah, there will be some Luka PnR with McGee (not a bad thing IMHO).  There will be some pick and pop with Wood and tons of opportunity for more when McGee is out.  McGee can also set picks on secondary action away from the ball.  He doesn’t just have to stand at the baseline in the dunker spot.  Lots of teams figure out how to play offensively with a guy who can’t shoot 3’s.  This isn’t rocket surgery.
