Maybe Kidd has had that discussion with wood.

If we are using earn it as a measurement, McGee hasn't earned shit. He has been worse than Wood defensively and he has a guarantee. Bullock is another guy who hasn't earned anything this season either, although I have faith that he will right the ship enough to be playable. If Bullock and Dfs arent standout defenders, the "Machine" doesn't work properly and we are currently not well oiled.

This. Wood is either the second or third best player on the team, so as far as I'm concerned, he's earned more minutes than several of the people ahead of him.

McGee and Bullock have a history of playing the way Kidd wants. Wood does not.

But what are they doing now?

Apparently Kidd doesn't want a 20/10 guy who can move the ball. Why would he when he can have a cpl guys be meh on defense and give you 10/7 combined.
