Yea, he can get his with his post-game, but the 3-point shooting is suspect, and I believe a farce that plays into his I'm a great offensive player mindset. I dunno, guy rubs me wrong as basically the polar opposite of a guy like DFS who just knows his role.

I for sure do not double down and re-sign him. Unless I'm missing something and you are right, but the guy has a history that I'll lean on more than any rift with Kidd or Luka or whatever.

Even though I disagree with a lot of this especially since you somehow defended Maxi's 0 rebounds, if you don't keep Wood, then you're big man position is even worse.

There is no answer at center that will be available this summer. Why do you think they had to promise McGee a starting spot and a long term contract?

To make matters worse, Kidd has absolutely no idea how to coach a big man. Zero. I've never seen a more erratic position in my life of guys that sometimes have good games then just vanish. That's 10000000% coaching.

I'm not going to counter the Kidd argument, I think we are all almost on the same boat.

Wood actively makes our big man situation bad himself. I can't sit around and see the blatant hypocrisy of us complaining about Bullock, DFS, etc. when this guy does one thing well. His history and game speak well enough for himself for me to not dismiss it as simple as Kidd can't coach bigs. I don't think that's what you're saying completely, but it's time we start calling Wood for what he is and stop acting like he's a slam dunk starter and should be getting 30+ minutes. He is seriously that hard to watch.

*Edited to throw serious shade at the FO and ownership for not addressing the center position in the offseason, nor at the trade deadline. Serious incompetence after the flaw was glaringly obvious in the playoffs and last year. Obvious that Wood is a PF and bringing in McGee as the only option was foolish.

My only gripe is his 3s, and he?d be best paired with McGee or Maxi together. We saw what happened when Kidd said he needed to lock in defensively early in the season. And he did. And he became starter because it was too glaringly obvious how solid he?d been. Then he got injured, and it all went to hell, and the trade deadline. He?s been yanked around when he had started to buy in. I?m probably not starting him, but he would do well getting consistent minutes as the first or second guy off the bench.
