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

[omahen]

Seems unlikely to me as I don't think Wood’s father is currently employed by any NBA team. 

Knicks hired JBs father, because they wanted JB. It was not they wanted JB, because his father was there...

As for losing teams with cap space. Even losing teams have to spend money somewhere. So why not an investment into Wood? They could still trade him later, if the contract just doesn't turn bad.

When are we gonna learn that teams don't need cap space? I'm not arguing for or against Wood in this post, but this form of rebuttal really needs to stop.

Exactly. There are a bunch of teams that could create cap space relatively easily and it only takes one to fall in love with Wood, especially if he has a good playoff run. Mavs gambled with JB and lost (he had a good playoff run).
