So we’re already in money saving mode or why would they not use the TPE. Meh.

Because 1. no gettable player for the TPE moves the needle nearly as much as Wood, and 2. Dallas will be even less interested in adding long-term salary with the prospect of needing to re-sign Brunson this summer and Wood next summer. (My observation, not Stein's.)
