I am sure there are many different moving parts. It appears Dallas really wanted to protect themselves in case Kyrie leaves. I guess that is understandable.
This team isn't winning anything this season. Even if they got another big man, they probably weren't a real threat. But if healthy and if they had one big guy who is at least an average defender, a run was possible. They are just too small now.
But I agree with you, Wood should be thrown out there. I understand what Kidd is thinking but that route isn't working with this group. Maybe it is too late, but I would at least get more length on the floor more often.
Yeah I'm there too. Getting just 1 bigger wing could've made all the difference for this team. Either they didn't have enough ammo or probably didn't feel like what was out there was worth the asking price.
I think any team with Luka and Kyrie on it is capable of winning just because of their talent levels. A slightly more balanced team could be eking out all of these close losses and turning them into wins. Imagine if they spent their last first on Poeltl and Vanderbilt. I think they could've rattled off 7-8 wins easily with those guys.
Not sure if I am still totally for spending that much for role players, but merely pointing out the upgrades were there if the Mavs tried.
