A couple of massive games that will already decide the season series against the Kings.

In theory.
If Mavs are 3rd they play LAC, if they're 4th, they play the Suns.
Doncic's nr1 enemy teams, playoffs are going to be crazy.

A loss by default.
Now TDL has passed, players who didn't get traded can relax and back to their normal self. They don't have to play ultra hard again

I honestly want to see how Christian Wood can integrate himself as the 3rd guy now. If he can find a fit like Kevin Love, then there will be a place for him.

Got to watch y?all disrespect like I haven?t been efficiently HOOPING all year .. using it as motivation
Not a good start. He has right, he was shopped all time.
I don't think he will resign here. Well done Cuban.

Yeah, he's halfway out the door right now with that.

Wouldn't that work the other way as well? Are you suggesting that because Christian Wood didn't want to get traded he's going to play better?

The Jazz also basically said it's literally the opposite that was one of the reasons their coach said they played so poorly against Dallas.

Again we don't know how he was used in trade talks. Could've been for landing a third big name or lateral changes. Clearly not to get rid of him or else they would've completed something.
It's risky for sure to alienate him like that. On the other hand a good playoff run alongside Luka and Kyrie should help - the man has never been fortunate enough to be on a winning team, let alone a legit one. He's not gonna find many places that can pay him and provide a Luka and a Kyrie to play with.
I'm glad he's still here and I hope they extend him and he can focus on getting 100% and on continuing to make improvements on defense.

It is his contract year, no matter how and in what situation, Wood should be highly motivated to play at 100% efforts.

Christian mostly finished against the Clips. But with what Dwight has done the last 2 games and what Christian has done, it’s Dwight’s spot. I’m a patriots fan and as Tom Brady would say, if you’re not earning it every day then you don’t deserve it.

Yeah he'll finish games based on match-ups and if hes trying on D, but this fanbase will be outraged if its not happening every game.
