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

[F Gump]

I have no idea if this is going to happen, but if they get Wood playing well (especially playing well with Luka) this becomes a different team in a different situation.

Wood is obviously a work in progress. I suspect he's being force-fed minutes out of necessity, but by all accounts he is also playing way better now than he was at first. That helps.

But -- I'm still not sure he's going to be a keeper. Or that he will extend - and at a number that aligns with his play and contribution (rather than with how he sees his ability).

So I think the next 6 weeks are pivotal to figuring out what we have if anything. Unless there's just no trade value, I'm certainly not going past the TDL with him unsigned.
