The biggest issue with Irving joining a starting five of Doncic, Christian Wood, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Reggie Bullock is that there is no defense or rim protection anywhere. Even swapping Wood for Dwight Powell, the Mavs aren?t getting all that much in the way of defense.
That?s why, with on big NBA trade deadline deal already in the books, the Mavs have to keep going and get a rim protector to round out their lineup.
The defense is crucial because having Luka and Kyrie on the floor at the same time makes Wood nearly unplayable.

We just need a guy who can box out and grab a million boards for those matchups. We need perimeter defense depth too.
And yes I agree Wood's value has taken a hit on our team with Kyrie. Maybe if we could trade THJ then Wood could still have a 20min role off the bench when kyrie or luka rest. But I don't see him as a long term fit personally so all the more reason to trade him.
