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

[SleepingHero]

Wood is a great pnr partner with either Luka or Kyrie.

That he is, but in his limited action in UTA and against LAC, the Mavs barely ran set PnR's with Kyrie or anyone else with Wood. Instead they've opted to push the pace a ridiculous amount and score in transition. In both UTA and LAC, the Mavs ran several dribble hand off's and a motion offense, again a far cry from what they've usually been doing. Wood has looked lost on offense, and instead has resorted to plodding post ups that appear to be an insurgent black mark on this new high tempo look.

Could that be because Luka's sidelined? Maybe?

If it's a look into the future of how Kidd wants to play with Kyrie than there is a reason why Wood has been phased out the last 2 games. 

Look, I'm not writing anything in stone. Perhaps Luka comes back, Wood returns to his 18/10 ways and we all forget about this last week. But Kidd and the Mavs have made it clear they do not prioritize Wood at all. Ever since he was traded for he's been put on the back burner (to the annoyance of many). So I'm looking at this shift in style and I'm making the bet that they're not going to accommodate the guy they haven't accommodated for the entire season.
