I agree with this binary set of options.
I don't want to see him walk for nothing.
I do not trust the Mavs to be able to negotiate a new deal with him at a fair price in the summer.
I do like the fact that an extension puts limits on the Mavs (as well as on Wood's demands).
I do like the fact that extension-or-trade forces open the door to incoming talent if the Mavs don't have the skills (or cooperation) to get a new deal (ie, extension) done.
I do like the fact that extension-or-trade creates a short-but-workable deadline to figure out what we have, and then decide what to do about it, rather than keep kicking the can down the road.
