THE CRUCIFIX: Cato: Wood isn't thrilled w/ his role...Will depart in the summer

[Mavs2021]

I said this elsewhere, its a cheeky idea, tanking a year, but just reading that its hard to imagine a safe way to say those words that can't come back to bite you.  

Even without a phone call, text or other insanity to document it, can't imagine a scenario where Wood or some other player spreads the word to somebody, anybody as in "Hey, Nico & Cuban said we're not competing this year. We just cant. "   

Yeah, its probably something you can't really say.

I bet GMs say that all the time. Players are not stupid. I´d bet a lot of money, about 180M of it, that Presti said exactly that to SGA. Go through the process with us. I give you the full max, no questions asked and in 2-3 years we have a contender for the next decade. It´s a different approach to challenge Wood. Butter him up by praising his offense, give him job security with extension/future talk, but demand defensive commitment and leadership under similar circumstances to Houston with Green/KPJ. Has he changed? That´s a better way to find out.
