Dallas' offer was reported to be the one and only bite Houston received, and it came attached to 4-5 guys who they just wanted to dump. Most of them aren't in the league anymore.
What is it you think he has done since then to become valuable?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of his talent and potential, but he's on an expiring deal and wants to be an All Star, meaning he wants an All Star-like featured role on All Star money. No good team is going to give him that, and no bottom feeder is interested in a 27 year old project. A good team might be interested in him as a rental, a means to clear some money off their books or both, but I don't see anyone paying too much for that in trade.
If this is the bottom line with Wood, and presuming the Shams report that the Mavs did offer him a two-year extension is true, and if he likes being here, it's kind of hard to understand why he doesn't just sign the damn contract. Of course, I'm even starting to wonder if the Mavs might end up regretting it if he did.

What do you mean? That would keep Luka safe. At least except during practice.
If the Clippers' interest was real, and knowing that they would have to give something, I'd be pretty happy with Batum and either Zubac (homerun) or a pick (helpful for future deals).
