Skin was on the Locked-On podcast with Isaac today. Repeated again that Wood could be outgoing in a deal between now and TDL. Not predicting it, just pointing out that he is an expiring contract who will have probably shown good things between now and then and might provide some of the necessary value in a deal…especially if we remove protections from 2023 and can trade 2025+ at the TDL.
He also had an interesting theory about why Brunson wasn’t offered an extension prior to the last TDL (even if he would have likely turned it down). They had something going and the chance of that happening was more beneficial than the risk of losing Brunson was harmful. Skin was probably first among media members to be talking about Brunson likely being gone. I think he has more credibility (and probably connections) on the topic than most.
He pumped some sunshine for sure, but he also said Dallas blew it by assuming they could do some kind of S&T with NY (which died when Detroit was willing to eat so much salary). If you are still wallowing in a post Brunson-funk, I’d probably stay away from listening. It will just cause you to put out another half dozen ‘the front office sucks’ posts. If you are genuinely interested in possible theories besides total ineptitude, it is a good listen.
