TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[DanSchwartzgan]

I continue to think that the only extension the Mavs have wanted to offer Wood before the TDL is the 2-year one that leaves him trade eligible. Every report has aligned with that narrative. But after the TDL, if he's still here, then it becomes a different story.

See Finney-Smith, D.

Detroit theoretically made Bogdanovic more valuable by bringing him in cheap and extending him.  Wood at 15/15.8 over the next two years would probably do that too…especially if the second year was TO or partially guaranteed like the Bojan deal.  That doesn’t seem unfair for Wood.  It is basically a 5% raise on the deal he agreed to 3 years ago.  Has he really done anything to make himself more valuable since that deal?  Houston would argue no after trying for months to get a deal for him.
