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

[F Gump]

Give him his 4 year max even if they want to trade him later. Don't lose the asset. Contract will look cheap down the road.

Once he's said he won't sign for 2 years, why not table those extension discussions until after the TDL? It looks to me like that's exactly what they did. It would seem there's no value in getting in a rush and closing off choices, when you can have the same extension conversation in 2 weeks.
