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

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.

I don't know why the Mavs are keeping their options open with Wood given he wants to re-sign. They can't get fair value for him if they traded him by himself or combined with others. The only reason (at least for me) that they should trade him, is that if he doesn't want to re-sign regardless of years or figures. The FO should just focus and THJ, Bertans, RB and McGee and just leave Wood be. Don't make this harder than it is.

And lastly, tell Wood, that Kidd would be gone by next season.
