    Miami wouldn’t want him - they choose guys like Butler, Lowry, Tucker, and Bam for a reason. They are one of the few teams who build a culture through acquisition as well as how they shape them in house - it’s slow work, but it is effective. Wood would never fit their culture and they wouldn’t waste time even bothering with him.

    …hats off to Pat Riley - dude runs the team in the most glamorous and indulgent place in the world for a young millionaire and his answer to that is to pick the guys with singular focus and drive and create a culture of dedication, toughness, and accountability. That’s a hard to thing to do in a city built for vice.

    He was not getting as much minutes to end the season and it's because he's an idiot. He's got KPJ level basketball iq.

    How crazy would it be if the Mavs end up letting Brunson, Wood, and Irving walk for nothing?

    That sounds a lot like 'I really thought Udoka was going to bully KPJ into a good player' :(

    Well 2 for 3 isn't bad. Agree that letting Brunson walk was a mistake.

    Some of Mike Tyson's opponents thought that he was short before being KO'd.

    Letting brunson was a huge mistake, followed by the mistakes of signing wood and kyrie. they are just lucky that the latter two mistakes can be gotten rid off quite easily.

    I like Wood's potential more than most, but there is a reason why he never works out anywhere. Wood is a menace to himself and he doesn't ever seem to learn why. It can't always be everyone else. He needs to fix himself, but I don't think he will ever understand that.
