His rep is indeed worrisome. It all comes down to what contract has to be offered to get him. I don't think Demar, Zach, Vuc and Caruso would allow him to be a problem...but...

I actually don't think that's too bad of a negative. Ok, he thinks he's better than his teammates. Could be worse. He's maybe overconfident, but at least he believes in himself.
It would be worse if he were lazy, or didn't care, was missing practice, immature, spreading back influence behaviors around the locker room, etc.

So does 90% of the players that check into a nba game lol
He comes from a losing situations (in houston, pistons, Pelicans, hornets) and in those situations players tend to form the habit of looking out for themselves considering in those times teams are tanking and want to lose. Wood needs a strong locker room and winning situations to change his approach. Are we that? I don't know

Dallas wasn’t a losing situation when he arrived. Bulls are borderline like dead average

Fortunately, because of Woods' lazy play and general bad attitude, this organization has zero interest in the knucklehead. There will be no genuine losers on this roster. Celebrate guys. Not on everything, just this.

But thats kinda exactly what he does . He refuses to play a role outside of the role HE envisions for himself and I think teams have watched the film and thats THAT is why hes still on the market .

Is his contract guaranteed? What would be the point of applying for the DPE if you're adding a vet min guy?

There is no denying that Wood has talent, but Drummond himself in a clip released several months ago, with him talking to a bunch of kids at a camp, that no matter how talented you are, if you act like a turd and have attitude problems, teams aren't going to waste their time on you.
There is a reason why lesser talented players, but who are professionals on and off the court stick around the league for as long as they do, in some instances questionably so, then there are others who are much more talented, where at the first sign of their talents diminishing or constant issues they are never to be seen again or are a part of any organisation thereafter.
A player who has the numbers that he has, should not still be a free agent at this stage in the off season, if that is not a glaring red flag, I don't know what is. You can be critical of the Bulls for not signing him, but if we are an idiotic franchise for not signing him, the same can be said for the other 29 teams. Because I bet, the teams that are willing to give him a chance, are going to make sure they offer him a deal where there is the least possible risk, where they can simply dump him quick if things don't work out.
