Luka + Wood + SD = -5 net rating, in 205 min
Luka + Wood + without SD = +15 net rating 301 min
Luka + SD + without Wood = -1 net rating 471 min
There really aren't any working lineups with Luka + SD that perform reasonable well on defense. Which is a big problem now and going forward. Because its put a ceiling on your performance, if you can't get enough stops. And not sure if the net rating of Luka + SD + Wood inspire confidence that this trio will ever work.
Mavs certainly have the personal to fix most issues i think. But not sure if Kidd has the balls to make "unpopular" lineup choices.
Great post.
If I were the Mavs, then trading SD would be my main focus.
