Unless you think he just wanted to play in Houston (I suppose that’s possible) then it seems clear that Detroit didn’t value him as highly as the contract he got, which, again, was less significant than what fans expected him to get at the time.
They signed Grant at $60m/3yrs. HOU signed Wood at $42m/3yrs. The ONLY assumption you can make is that they valued Grant higher than Wood. That elevates Grant. It doesn't belittle Wood.
