But even I do not want him back.
His time here is over, doesn't matter who's fault it is now.
All I want to know now is if there is any possibility of CWood signed-and-traded.
If the answer is NONE, then I hope everyone moves on and forget about the guy.
Edit: I want Kidd out of here too, not because of how he handled CWood, but mainly of how he coached (or didn't coached?), and his inane comments during the whole of last season. Kidd was a major issue last season, and would continue to be, even with an improved team.
No, it doesn't matter who's fault it is. We all have our opinions. It sounds like you agree Kidd eff'd it up. Yes, I want Kidd far away from this franchise. He's doing exactly what got him booted from BRK and MIL. Cuban didn't do his homework and/or didn't give Kidd the needed performance indicators on how he'd be judged. If Kidd was my employee, he'd be on a performance plan and managed with the hopes he could turn it around. It does not sound like that has happened.
Until Wood signs elsewhere, he's still a possibility. My only point is... with what's left below the apron, who would be a better option than Wood? It's like having high hopes for a prom date, but then when you're a week out you finally decide your cute friend wasn't such a bad choice after all. Never let perfect be the enemy of good.
This situation reeks of the situation with Avery and Marquis. Yes, he smoked his body weight in weed with Josh, but as he was utilized with Nelly, he had an important role on the team. A role Avery just destroyed... for personal reasons. Good coaches don't do that. I just watched the ESPN special about Reggie, Billy, and Steinbrenner. Billy could have gotten so much more out of that team if he only learned how to manage Reggie, well and stop boozing.

From your POV, how do reconcile the obvious lack of interest from any team to employ him?
An empty roster spot is better than a 20pts/10rbs/2blks starter?
That's a plus, meaning he's still available and could be had for cheap. Other than that, what does it matter what other franchises think of him?
Do I only want to date women my buddies want to date? I couldn't care less.
