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

[SleepingHero]

Sounds familiar (THJ), maybe that is some of the issue with the mentality on this team and what was dragging them down. Good reason to shake everyone up and get fresh faces.

It's up to the coach to press the right buttons and get guys to buy in. But it's a 2 way street. Wood has to want to buy in, and I just don't see him doing it.


BTW, no sources to back it up. Just a feeling and based on general history of how the dude behaved in other (albeit worse) situations. 

I think Kidd views him as more of a 9th man. 
6th man role with free reign to sling the ball would probably be fine with him at this point

I don't think Wood will ever have the freedom he had pre Kyrie now on offense. It's either gonna be Luka or Kyrie and then everyone else on equal footing. Wood is good enough to command plays, but his post ups really slow down the tempo. Maybe when Luka comes back and they slow it down for him Woods fit on offense post-Kyrie will be easier to see.
