The value lost if the Brunson story repeats (Wood has a great second half of the season and playoffs) is far greater than saving a couple of millions. We already know he can produce stats in the regular season. That contract will not be a negative.
Where is my point not getting through?
(If I read this correctly ...) ...the delay has nothing to do with money. It's about a desire to keep the door open to be able to trade Wood, if they need to at the TDL (ie if the trade they are looking for becomes available). That's not letting Wood get away, it's looking for the best way for Wood to be an asset. What's wrong with that?
Stein says they have "started" extension talks already. Obviously they already see what will do the deal. As I said elsewhere, see what happened with DFS - it looks exactly like the same path with Wood.
