It's funny because I'm sorta with you Dougie that Wood should've been given a bigger chance when he returned from injury. I'm just not convinced that Wood was a difference maker and playing him more would've resulted in more wins.
I just think, like many others here, that we had to do something different to just try. Kidd wasn't willing to do it (and I can see why he didn't want to). Though, if the ship is sinking and the coach doesn't at least try some hail mary shit to get some water out of the boat, is that better than just accepting the outcome and letting the team continue the status quo?
ANY WHO moving on...

Comparing packages here, Mavs KYRIE Chip (I don't have the creativity for an acronym like we used to use in yesteryears) beats out anything these other teams I think would realistically throw out for Ayton.
Portland is desperate, but I don't see a match here unless they're willing to facilitate a Grant SnT deal though that kind of just replaces Aytons overpaid deal with another and doesn't really solve their depth right? Hornets have some valuable assets, but do any of them make sense for a PHX team with a 35 year KD that's all in for the present?
Bulls have Vucevic, Caruso, DeRozan, etc. yet the article blatantly states that the Suns aren't really interested in Vucevic. And I don't see how DeRozan fits on a team with KD+Booker.
I wonder if a hypothetical Ayton for Depth deal is the best route for all parties. In which case I still think the Mavs have the best mix of role players for a win-now team. Not sure though. Whaddya think?
I don't know if Ayton is the right choice but turning Kyrie into a long term starter at either PF or C is really tempting so we can start Hardy and Green (assuming Kidd will actually do that)
