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

Which is why trade or extension are the only options. I fear Mark has yet to learn this lesson. Nico needs to step up and be the adult in the room

I agree. But you seem very convinced Wood will take 2 years at 36 mil. I don't like the trade option if he doesn't take that and I think it is quite likely he doesn't want to. 

I think he could easily get more total money in the summer. Even if he would have a bad playoff run, he is probably still worth full MLE, which goes over 40 mil for 4 years. If he has a good playoff run, he could easily go for 80 mil or more. So three years or even four are more acceptable result for me than trading him for a protected FRP.
