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

[Chicagojk]

I think you can keep Wood even if you don't extend him.   The question is how have the Mavs been communicating with him behind the scenes?  It certainly feels like they are fine keeping him due to their offer.  Years appears to be the issue and maybe Wood's agency wants higher $ that Dallas can't offer now.   If we resign Kyrie, I would think the years for Wood becomes less important.  So the question is, what does Dallas think his market value is this summer and are they fine playing at that price range?  Even if they have to overpay?   Are they fine at 18 million a year?  20 million a year?   22 million a year?  And if they don't sign him now, if he is willing, does Wood go into FU mode this summer and sign with anyone but the Mavs even if the Mavs had a competitive offer?  Those are the questions the Mavs need to have a good grasp on.
