TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[Mapka]

So you are saying that Wood wants $___ today that he knows is the most the Mavs can offer in an extension, but a week later (during which he won't play any games) he won't be satisfied by being offered the very same amount? Unless he has some secret agenda to get out of here, that makes no sense to me.

I said they should have given him the extension much earlier and to better terms for us.
If this thing drags further up, FA isn't far and he may test the waters. Which put us in a %€#@ situation again.
At this point a trade to where he doesn't want to be might be some leverage for us. At the TDL we are left to his mercy.
