I responded to your statement about Wood´s role on defense. That´s Luka´s role. Mavs cannot hide 2-3 guys on defense. That leaves Wood as the odd man out.
As far as alternatives go. Offensive production from Kyrie and Luka is enough to guarantee a top 10 offense (in the past Luka alone was enough). So I am looking at guys that cand defend multiple positions and make up for the defensive short comings of Luka and Kyrie. Something that won´t be as easy if Wood stays because realistically they cannot resign both him and Kyrie and stay under the first apron. They would lose the full MLE and BAE.
