Some points on Wood signing an extension:
1 An extension for Wood has always had well-defined limits, and we have never heard that Wood has no interest in an extension of some size. Instead, it's just been a question of how much of that max extension amount would be offered.
2 As far as we know, none of that has changed. By all accounts he still wants an extension, at his number.
3 There's no real reason for his desire for an extension at his number to vanish in the next week. If he wants the security of a deal in hand on Thursday, why would that vanish on Friday where he suddenly wants to deal with free agency? Rationally, it wouldn't.
4 He is who he is at this point, and there's no way he can change that grade in the next week. He might not even play any games in the next week - and at most, there are only 3 games possible before Sat Feb 10.
5 If he's still a Mav after the TDL, that is probably not a statement that he has immense value around the league, since the offers the Mavs would get will be based on how much teams want him. If no one pursues him, that says something about his potential free agency market interest (or lack of same) as well.
